| Echo2 Freshwater fly rods were designed by Tim Rajeff to be the ultimate tools for chasing trout. Each Freshwater Rod features the ultimate in componentry--friction free titanium coated SIC stripping guides, maple reel seats with nickel coated barrels and hoods, a beautiful wine colored blank finish, and high grade cork handle. Knowing that beauty is only skin deep, Tim Rajeff designed each rod with its own specific power and action in order to provide you with the best tool for the job. Other manufacturers utilize a single action across an entire range of rods, which is just downright silly. To further allow you to fine tune the actions of Echo2 rods, each rod comes with 2 tips; an "A" tip for accuracy and a "D" tip for distance. |


| A Tale of Two Tips, A.D. The Accuracy tip was made for, well… accuracy. To quote Tim, “The accuracy tip is softer, which allows the rod to load with less line out the rod for times when you are starting with the fly in your hand. The accuracy tip also helps people who have smoother casting strokes because they can feel the rod load sooner in the stroke and help them take full advantage of the rods overall power.” This is the tip you’ll use when fishing flats, or making quick casts to moving fish. The Distance tip is stiffer. This is the perfect tip to use for bringing sinking lines to the surface, for throwing longer lines, and for people with a more aggressive casting stroke. Because it is stiffer it forces the butt to load sooner in the stroke giving the rod a more modest feel. Another bonus is if you do have an accident with one of the tips, you have a spare ready to go. |

| * The Echo2 9’6”/10’ #5 features two tips of different lengths, allowing the rod to switch between a 9’6” and 10’. What was going on in Tim Rajeff’ s mind when he decided to create a rod with two different length tips? Tim wanted to give people looking for more distance and or people who are sitting close to the water more ways to skin a cat. On days where there is limited wind you can use the longer tip to take full advantage of the line lifting and distance that a 10 ft. rod delivers. When the wind gets nasty and waving 10ft. rods in the wind is not your cup of tea (beer) switch tips and use the shorter one. |
