Fly Rods
Fly rods can be divided into single hand and two hand fly rods. In addition, there are also so-called switch rods, which are basically shorter and lighter double handed rods. However, casting with switch rod is generally done with two hands, but in some situations it is also possible to use it as a one hand rod. The brands we offer include Echo, Cortland, Loop, OPST, TFO and Vision Fly Rods.

Echo Trout - There are few fish with a more diverse menu of preferred foods or living environments than trout. Sometimes, they require lightly presenting speck-sized midges to get a grab. At other times, you may find yourself tossing heavily weighted leeches on sinking lines. Designing a series optimized for every trout situation just isn’t going to happen. We can, however, make a rod well-suited to cast flies and lines of various sizes and densities in that “sweet spot” distance of 30-50 feet.
Ultra-Sensitive Tip Section
To protect light tippets, Echo produced a fast action design with an ultra-sensitive tip section in the ...

Lake fishermen are typically fishing from float tubes, small pontoons, or boats. This creates challenges when making long casts. The unique action and power blend matched to the 10′ length helps avoid hitting the water behind you on the back cast and the dreaded tailing loop. The Lago series rods also live a double life as excellent summer steelhead or large trout nymphing rods.
