Echo has created a series of affordable Switch and Spey rods for the two-handed enthusiast, the Echo Swing Switch and Spey Series. The Swing Series helps anglers utilize today's two-handed fly lines to cast farther and maximize water covered with a small two-handed rod. These rods are great entry-level rods for anglers learning to Spey cast. If you're new to Steelhead fishing or Salmon fishing, try the new Swing Series, you won't be disappointed.

Blank

Graphite Fiber Construction - The blank of the Swing Series is responsive and caster-friendly. A medium-fast action and tough graphite fiber construction mean the Swing rods are a joy to cast and remain durable throughout seasons on the water. The Swing has a deep blue blank color and is finished with quality componentry.

Guides

SiC Stripping Guides - The Echo Swing Switch & Spey rods have two SiC stripping guides to allow line to move through the rods with ease. These guides create low friction and low resistance when casting or retrieving line to simplify an angler's connection to the fish.

Hard Chrome Snake Guides - Hard chrome snake guides add durable functionality to the design of the Echo Swing Switch & Spey rods. These guides stand up to abuse on and off the water.

Reel Seat

Anodized Aluminum - The Echo Swing Spey Series has a corrosion-proof black anodized aluminum reel seat designed to protect against the elements and efficiently hold a Spey reel in place without adding extra weight to the rod. The Switch Series has a silver anodized aluminum reel seat. A double downlocking component (Switch rod models) helps balance the rod and secure large Switch reels. The Spey rods have a double uplocking component.

Rod Tube

Fabric-Covered Rod Tube - The Echo Swing Series comes with a blue fabric-covered rod tube and rod sock to store and transport the rod safely. Echo's rod tube is tried and true and comes with an Echo insignia and rod model label.

Warranty

Echo Fly Rod Lifetime Warranty - Echo will repair or replace any defective or damaged rods for the entire lifetime of the original owner. All rods must be sent to Echo for repairs/service. As of 4/17/2019, Echo charges a $35 fee for fly rod repairs/replacements.

GSP Floating Shooting Line is a shooting/running line that is unparalleled in the market. Utilizing a gel-spun polyethylene core, which is the most advanced core material on the market, this shooting line achieves a true "no-stretch" characteristic. The ultra-low diameter of this core combines with superior strength to offer a shooting line that is the strongest, most durable, and most sensitive shooting line you will ever use. The polyethylene coating is formulated for extremely low memory, high float, and minimal "water pick-up" to greatly reduce guide-icing, friction, and to keep you dryer while casting.

GSP FLOATING SHOOTING LINE

Line Description

The polyethylene coating of Impact fly lines does not contain the volatile chemicals that must be added to PVC in order to create a fly line. This shift in technology is important to maintain the durability of the line. Previously, these chemicals would constantly migrate into the environment. This is why we steer away from PVC baby toys and food containers—they emit poison. As those chemicals migrate out of the plastic, a void is created in the compound. Not only does this alter the compound from its initial characteristics, but that void forces the compound to crack over time. This is where the circumferential cracks on a PVC fly line are born. Add dirt, oil, and other foreign debris to the cracks and performance degrades. Monic lines do not lose material over time, and therefore do not crack. This is important in the overall durability of the line and its performance longevity for the angler.

Floating Dry-Fly Line

Double-taper fly lines may not be the most versatile of the bunch, but they're very good at what they're designed to do: delicate work at shorter distances. An excellent dry-fly line, the Mastery Double Taper excels at presenting flies with a touch of grace, which is extra handy on spring creeks and smaller streams.

• Double-taper lines are extra-delicate for subtle presentations
• Excels in short-to-medium distances with dry flies and smaller nymphs
• The ultimate fly line for chasing trout in close quarters
• Braided multifilament core
• SA ID - SA MS TRT DT X F (X = line weight)

APPLICATIONS

Liquid courage. Let's face it, die-cast reels are intended to be low-cost alternatives to machined reels, right? Imported. Heavier. Easier to damage. Plain Jane. Well . . . not anymore. When creating Liquid, we focused purely on the virtues and advantages a pressure-cast process can offer. Structurally, you can do things with casting that you can't machine: Full-radiused compound curves. Near zero-radius inside corners. And for a precision fit and finish, we even go back and machine the cast part in critical areas--amplifying the best aspects of both worlds. We pushed back on other boundaries as well. How much of a reel at this cost can we make here in the US.? Quite a lot, as it turns out. It's a good mix, too. Liquid's high-quality castings are imported, but the components critical to the drag system are CNC-machined in the US. Liquid reels are assembled in Boise alongside our highest-priced reels. No other $100 reel can boast this much US content and quality oversight. New finish: Liquid Vapor. Also available in Smoke.

Change agent. A heavy-duty version of the Remix, this HD reel has a full-cage design to capture line without failure. This makes a great option for an entry-level switch, Spey, boat or all-around, ready-for-anything reel. A sexy fusion between the free-form structures of a cast spool and the mechanical integrity of a CNC-machined case, Remix is the ultimate hybrid. Machined in Idaho from bar-stock aluminum, the case delivers maximum structural rigidity and durability all wrapped in a harder, brighter finish. The spool (compatible with Liquid), is pressure-cast with radiused compound curves, near zero-radius inside corners, and a precise fit and finish. It has a U-shape arbor and narrow format to aid in line control. Remix crossbreeds the best of CNC-machining and pressure-cast technologies to deliver an unprecedented level of quality for a bit more than $150. In addition to the US-made case, all critical drag components are expertly CNC-machined in the US.
