Whether it’s casting chicken-sized pike flies, fighting heavy winds, or dealing with the fury of a GT, the EPR has delivered. Working with bass and muskie guru Pat Ehlers, Echo produced their fastest, most powerful rod Echo have ever produced.

Echo Trout Spey is specialized for when the bugs aren’t hatching and you want to cover the most amount of water with a sub-surface presentation.
Modest Power and Action for Maximum Versatility
The Trout Spey is light weight and dialed for far more than just two-hand swinging with Skagit and Scandi heads: Flick an emerger off the tip, mend a country mile of line with an indicator nymph rig, tight-line nymph, fish a dry fly hatch, and anything else you may find yourself needing in ever-changing trout fisheries.
Echo's Most Advanced Two-Hand Series to Date
Closely related to Echo's other new flagship two-hand rods, the Full Spey ...

Echo OHS - One Hand Spey rods are the ultimate in versatility. The missing link between one hand rods and spey rods. Combined with a short Skagit head, these rods allow you to add a double haul to your spey cast. High modulus graphite makes the rod more efficient while casting and is light in the hand. The rod comes with a traditional fighting butt and a 2 ½" (6,4 cm) spey rear grip in case you want to give your casting hand a rest. Longer lengths provide additional leverage when fish are hiding in the next zip code.
The link between single-hand and ...
Echo Full Spey is part of the most advanced lineup of Spey rods Echo have ever produced. To allow someone to fish all day in all conditions requires rods that are light in the hand and well balanced. The new Echo Full Spey rods are designed to allow a person to flick a Scandi cast off the rod tip and still crank out long casts with a Skagit Head. As it turns out, 13'0" matches today’s modern lines and is the most versatile length for those that want to fish larger rivers where covering water is the key to success.

Echo Compact Spey is part of the most advanced lineup of Spey rods Echo have ever produced. Casting two hand setups all day can get tiring. To maximize time on the water, anglers have been turning to shorter two-hand rods to play more and work less. Using lengths previously referred to as “switch rods”, Echo developed true spey actions that perfectly match up to today’s shorter head systems and compact casting techniques. If you’re needing to ease up on your casting workload or fish effectively in tight quarters, the new Compact Spey rods are here to answer the call.

Balanced action and power for maximum versitality
Competition-style Euro Nymph rods can be so specialized that they aren’t always the right tool for most recreational anglers. By using the Carbon XL’s already ...

Vision Tool DH rods have been a kind of an enigma since their introduction. Black matte blanks together with exceptional reel seats and thin EVA handles gave these rods a unique stealthy look. So much so, that some more conservative anglers have avoided even testing these rods. Most of those who have tested have been really happy with the smooth and powerful performance of these rods.
However, in order to make them more approachable for everybody, Vision made Tool DH rods also available with cork handles. In addition, Vision introduced three new models (currently only available with cork handles): 11’6’’ #5, 11’6’’ #7 ...
Vision XO DH - One of the first things we heard when we originally launched the XO range was where are the double handed rods? Although we had already played around with these rods way before we came out with the single handed rods we did not want to launch these before we had fine-tuned these to as close to perfection as possible. We had the same goal as with all XO products – they have to exceed everything we have done so far in every aspect. Just as for the single handed rods we wanted something that reflects our origins ...
Vision's full-scale single-hand rod series Onki nailed it. Since the launch it has been a real success in every possible way. Now Vision is doing the same with new Onki DH and Onki Switch SWITCH rods. The quality of high-modulus Korean graphite (40 tn) is something you normally find only in more expensive rods and it enabled us to create very light yet powerfull rods. The rest of the components are of great quality as well. These rods are in a great price range and when compared to proven Tool rods they have a bit softer action, especially in the case ...

Plenty of backing and a suitable leader are included. Everything is pre-spooled and ready for action. Packed in ...
Vision Tane Sofarod is intened, as the name suggests, to be used also indoors. Great for learning the basic principles of fly casting even while on sitting on your sofa in front of a TV screen watching your favorite fly fishing video. The package inludes a miniature Tane fly rod (4’) with a bulky fluorescent yarn. The yarn behaves pretty much the same way as a fly line and gives you a valuable training also in situations where full length fly line is impractical. The package inludes also two mountable target rings for accuracy practising. A great way to organise ...

Vision Eka - The EKA rods, meaning “first” in Finnish, are incredible rods in their price range. The blanks are made from 24ton low resin graphite making these rods light in weight and well balanced in hand. Thanks to their 4 piece construction and narrow and light plastic tube these are easy to pack for your travels. The matt finished graphite colour blank doesn’t just look good, but it also shields you and the fish from unwanted reflections. The narrow cork handles are sensitive and the anodised reelseat holds your reel nice and firm.

Echo Shadow X - Echo worked with veteran Euro Nymph guru Pete Erickson, 2018 fly fishing world champion Norm Maktima, and expert Mariusz Wrobewski to create a rod that is dialed-in to perform at the sport’s highest levels.
By using the most advanced high modulus graphite available, they were able to achieve the lightest rod Echo have ever produced. When you need to feel every nuance happening under the water, having the lightest, most sensitive rod you possibly can is the difference between 1st and 10th place.
Simply put: This is the most challenging project Echo have ever completed in their life as ...

Vision Vipu fly rods, like all the other fishing poles, belong to Class 3 levers. In Class 3 levers, the effort (input force from your well-trained biceps and triceps) is closer to the fulcrum (your bony elbow) than the output force (the thing needed to move your fly line). This class includes levers, which will produce with relatively small movements at the other end (your hand), large movements with good speed at the other end of the lever (the tip of your rod).
Based on the above basic physics, we think that Vipu (lever in English) is a great name for ...
