From your first glance you will see the aesthetic features on the Echo SR which stand out.  The blank is a very cool looking matte olive green which is different and attractive.  The cork has rubberized composite ends to aid in durability and provide a great accent.  It also has hard chrome single foot guides.  This rod has the appearance of something that should cost twice as much.

When you cast the Echo SR, you will feel the evidence that it was designed by a guy with some serious passion for fly casting and fishing, Tim Rajeff.  He put an immense amount of hard work and research into planning this rod. Pacific Northwest anglers like the ability to fish in tight places with two handed rods, enter... the Echo SR. With a crisp action and modest power the ECHO SR rods maintain a load during a Spey cast better than other rods that have an extra fast action. In models ranging from 10'6" to 10'10" they are a perfect two hand length but are not beyond chucking with one hand when needed. Oh yea, did we mention these rod feature the best looking pale olive matte color, the family of SR rods will make you smile just putting them together.

Spare Reel, Switch Line, Strike Indicators, and Leader for Nymph Fishing

Although the Rio Steelhead Scandi Short spey casts like a champ on these switch rods (and is one heck of a shooting head to boot!), it isn't the best line for indicator nymphing because the head is short and you get into the thin running line too fast.  Consider ordering an Echo Ion Reel for $99 and a Rio Switch Line, 1" Thingamabobber Strike Indicators, and a Rio Steelhead Leader.


This package can be purchased in addition to this Switch Rod package for a cost effective way to turn your switch rod into a nymph fishing machine for steelhead.

Rio's Switch line- On the 4 weight Echo SR Packages, we substitute this line with a variety of poly leaders and tip wallet.  The 4/5 and the Echo SR 4wt Switch Rod are the perfect match.

• Long head and thick diameter tip turns over big flies and indicator rigs
• Excellent line control and mending capabilities
• Will overhead and spey cast with ease
