Echo Carbon rod designer and competitive fly-caster Tim Rajeff's main goal was ideally blending action and power to meet specific fly-fishing applications. The Carbon series is smooth and easy to cast. The medium-fast action is not too stiff and not too soft. The rods feature half-wells cork handles with composite pressure zones. Alignment dots allow for easy assembly. Carbon rods have a matte brown finish and anodized-aluminum reel seats. Each rod comes with Cordura® nylon-covered rod tube.
