Fly Rods
New Products
Echo Stillwater meets the needs of competition-level lake anglers. Conventional fly rods are a poor substitute for a precisely developed stillwater rod. These new rods were designed to get anglers fishing more effectively and efficiently in lakes of all sizes. Echo worked with expert Pete Erickson to fine-tune this unique rod series with its medium fast action and subtle delicacy to cover all aspects of high-level stillwater fishing.
There are four sizes including a 10ft 5wt, 10ft 6wt, 10ft 7wt, and even a 10.6ft 6wt. The 10 footers cover the gamut of fish sizes while also masterfully handling any stillwater line on ...
Vision Merisuola Predator series is reinforced with Graphene. The action is a bit softer compared to the Merisuola Graphene series. The action is adapted to throwing big flies for big predatory fish in fresh-, brackish- and saltwater. Because of big demand from active fishermen these rods are made with EVA handles. This ensures these rods really take the beating they are designed for. These rods incorporate everything Vision team have learned during 20+ years of rod design and manufacturing.

Vision Merisuola Graphene is actionwise very close to the first generation Merisuola rods. Vision made a very succesful upgrade for the XO rod series by introducing the XO Graphene rods. They wanted to do the same for the Merisuola range as Merisuola and Graphene are truly meant to be together. With this new material available for these rods and with it being the strongest tested material in the world these rods just beg to get out and hunt bigger predatory fish. When one of these rods is casted the first time the difference is noticeble right away. Graphene makes it possible ...
TFO LK Legacy series pays homage to TFO’s founding rod designer Lefty Kreh by incorporating all his wisdom in the creation of the ultimate “big water” trout rod for intermediate to advanced anglers. Whether casting dries, nymphs, or streamers, the LK Legacy’s perfect tracking and a crisp, smooth recovery make them very powerful and responsive. LK Legacy series lighter line weights will easily protect 5x tippet when fishing to highly selective trout. And the mid to heavier line weights are excellent for windy conditions or distance casting as they are designed to efficiently generate high line speed and very tight loops. ...
TFO LK Legacy TH series was designed for intermediate to advanced anglers seeking faster blanks that deliver more efficient line movement and more recovery crispness. These rods can pick up longer, heavier fly lines and tips with minimal effort and a unique touch-and-go feel. The five rod LK Legacy TH series features the 6-weight for trout spey or overhead casting off the beach and longer 8-weight rods for steelhead and salmon.
The LK Legacy TH series is constructed with high modulus carbon fiber material and finished in a matte grey color tipped with hunter green thread wraps. Componentry includes up-locking, anodized cut-out ...

In these situations, the successful angler is the one whose fly is in the water the most. For this reason, the Blue Ribbon series is designed to load easily with minimal back cast allowing the angler to make quick accurate casts with very little effort. So, whether its casting indicators, or multi-fly rigs from a drift boat, or bait fish patterns to the bank all day the Blue Ribbon series is engineered to deliver cast after ...
TFO Stealth series was designed by TFO National Advisor Jason Randall specifically for European, high-stick and tight-line nymphing techniques that require drag-free drifts and ultra-sensitive strike detection. This rod series is engineered to powerfully deliver accurate multi-fly presentations yet to be extremely light and perfectly balanced as necessary for comfortable fishing and extreme sensitivity. Every decision in the creation of these rods has been driven by the goal of maximizing direct-contact fishing performance and, as a result, there is no better set of tools than the Stealth series if that is your focus.
The Stealth series is constructed with high modulus carbon ...
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 ...
Echo Lago - Conventional fly rods are a poor substitute for a precisely developed lake rod. These new rods were designed to get anglers fishing more effectively and efficiently in lakes of all sizes.
Optimized for Casting While Sitting
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.

Echo Ion XL - With the Ion XL’s extreme versatility between fresh and saltwater environments, its affordable price point, and quality componentry, it has become the go-to rod for guides and fishing professionals. Saltwater-grade rods in this price category are usually better utilized as a coat hanger than a fishing tool. The Ion XL series does not fit that mold.
Featuring a remarkably low swing-weight and a more forgiving action, the Ion XL is equally at home stripping flesh flies as it is dropping a merkin to a tailing permit. For scandinavian use you will find suitable models for both trout and pike ...
Vision XO Graphene - The next level of XO fly rods. Vision wanted to bring out the new generation of XO rods only if they could make significant improvements for the materials. Graphene made this possible. 3 years of testing prototypes and actions lead to the launch of XO Graphene fly rods. With this new material available and with it being the strongest tested material in the world it required a lot of testing and tuning of actions. When one of these rods is casted the first time the difference is noticeble right away. Graphene makes it possible to make ...
