Echo Rods

Any thoughts on Echo rods?

From my experiences, awesome customer service. I sent three of four sections floating down river on the Bighorn. I called them, told them all I had was the cork end, and after I sent it in I received a new rod. And I even admitted the fault was my own. Like I said, great customer service.

I have had two of their rods, and both did their job well. I had a 6 and an 8 at some point, but I had no issue selling them. Take from that what you will, but I felt that they lacked feel and sensitivity that I have witnessed in my other rods. Keep in mind though, this was almost three years ago, and I have not cast any of their recent products.
For the money, and the warranty, get a TFO.

I have not cast the new rods myself either, but from what others have told me they are a clear improvement over the echo “classics” and echo2s.

I have used and abused a few Echo rods… for the price and the function they are a great tool! Took some big fish on them with no issues [profile pic was with a Echo classic 6wt] . I use the 5,6 & 8 wt. I’d happily fish one any day. With the over priced rods these days its awesome to see a good rod at an affordable price.

Curious to what rod your looking at? anything specific?

I’ve got a mixed bag of Sage, Orvis, TFO and St. Croix rods.

I’ve cast most of the rods in Echo line up.

I have an Echo Spey rod. It think it’s a great rod for the money. Everyone who has one seems to feel the same way.

I picked up an Echo Carbon 3wt this spring for picking off trout in smaller streams and for bluegill.

I’ve got 2 Echo rods and have been very pleased with them. For the “poor” Flyfisher it’s affordable and good value.

I’m definetly looking at them for a 7 wt. to do a lot of my big streamer work…but don’t wanna spend too much since I don’t fish that way all too often, looks like a good fit.

Echo has a similar business model to TFO.

F I S H  &  F L Y  ( 2007 Tackle & Travel issue )  had a review of Nine-Foot 5 wt. Fly Rods . Two categories Premium ($300 + ) & Value ( under $300).

Echo 2 was the highest rated value rod and Orvis TLS was lowest.
