Echo TR Two Hand Fly Rods, Tim Rajeff

What do you do when you have a slight hitch in your giddy-up? If you are a two hand fly guy who owns their own rod company you simply create a family of rods that help you cast better. Tim Rajeff took the popular Echo Classic spey rods and gave them a little more oomph in the bottom half of the rod to keep up with his slightly more abrupt power application. The new Echo TR rods look like something from a TV battlefield and perform like they mean business. With modest tip power combined with a little extra butt power, Echo TR rods will throw tighter loops farther than you ever dreamed possible. Load them up with a Skagit head and they slow down enough to make fishing sink tips a breeze. Available in a #5 trout Spey size all the way to a 15 foot #10 rod to keep long casters like Larry Aiuppy casting well past dark.

Action vs Power Comparison

The Action vs. Power matrix is used for comparison between ECHO rod models. Utilizing this chart, you'll be able to choose an ECHO rod that best fits you and your personal casting stroke. The vertical axis indicates the rod's power, while the horizontal axis indicates the rod's action. In simple terms, two-hand rod action is derived from the top half of the rod, while power is derived from the bottom half.

Action:
Fast action rods feature softer tips than medium action rods and provide a 'stiffer' feel. Fast action rods excel in the hands of anglers with more aggressive casting strokes and greater stroke control. Medium action rods are ideal for anglers with more fluid casting strokes and have a larger 'sweet spot' for a wider range of casting strokes. Consistently throwing a tailing loop? Your rod's action may not be a good fit to you and your casting stroke.

Power:
A rod's power is its resistance to flexing under load. Powerful rods are 'beefier' through the bottom half, generate higher line speeds, and are more adept at keeping big fish pinned. Delicate rods are more presentation-oriented, protect light tippet, and are a better choice for picky fish.

Rajeff Sports would like your ECHO experience to be a good one and we ask that you take care of your equipment with the following regular maintenance:

Wash all components with warm freshwater after each days use in saltwater. Pay extra attention to the space where the guides meet the blank and the metal parts of the reel seat. Try to keep sand and dirt out of the ferrules. Occasionally use a few drops of any reel oil or grease on the reel seat threads to keep it operating smoothly. Paraffin wax can also be used on the ferrules if needed to ensure a proper fit.

Do not use tape on your ferrules. If you do we'll come steal all your bacon and PBR.
