Whether looking for your first two-handed rod or a great backup, the ECHO Classic Two-Hand rods are the smoothest, easiest casting rods in their class. High grade components and our Classic Deep Emerald blank color mean these rods look as good as they fish. They have a crisp action and modest power, allowing performance over the largest range of fishing conditions, using both floating and sink-tip lines. The six and seven weight models are great for Summer Steelhead and Atlantic Salmon. The eight weight is a powerful rod, great for larger rivers and heavier sink-tips and longer bellied lines. we took our time on the ECHO Classic Two Hand rods because we know that if you are satisfied with your first ECHIO rod you will think about us when your in the market of another rod. heck you might even tell your friends about us.
