Description

ECHO is a small, personable company of fly-fisher folk residing in Vancouver, Washington. We are the vision of Tim Rajeff – the culmination of his huge personality and an outlet of both creativity and service to the industry. Currently, distributes Echo Fly Rods to the world. We strive to provide quality products and service to our fellow fly-fishers. As the founding father, Tim tends to be busier than your average bald guy. When in the office, he spends all his time designing new lines and rods, addressing managerial-type-stuff or helping with customers. When he’s out and about, he’s usually finding a reason to wet a line somewhere nearby or in far off lands. Tim’s extensive knowledge of fly rod design and performance stems from his early childhood patronage to the Golden Gate Angling and Casting Club in San Francisco, where he became a young and successful competition caster. Tim first began designing rods in 1980, and was one of the first people to use and adapt graphite fly rods in competition casting. The Carbon XL is designed for anglers of all skill levels who need a well-rounded rod for a variety of fishing applications. The Carbon XL features a moderate action that excels at everything from dry fly fishing to nymphing and even light streamers without ever feeling heavy or sluggish. The Carbon XL series looks and feels like a rod that should be selling for twice its price! All there is to it! If you need a modest price rod to get any freshwater job done, the Carbon XL was made just for that purpose. The Action vs. Power matrix is used for comparison between ECHO rod models. Utilizing this chart, you’ll be able to choose an ECHO rod that best fits you and your personal casting stroke. Action: Fast action rods feature softer tips than medium action rods and provide a ‘stiffer’ feel. Fast action rods excel in the hands of anglers with more aggressive casting strokes and greater stroke control. Medium action rods are ideal for anglers with more fluid casting strokes and have a larger ‘sweet spot’ for a wider range of casting strokes. Consistently throwing a tailing loop? Your rod’s action may not be a good fit to you and your casting stroke. Power: A rod’s power is its resistance to flexing under load. Powerful rods are ‘beefier’ through the bottom half, generate higher line speeds, and are more adept at keeping big fish pinned. Delicate rods are more presentation-oriented, protect light tippet, and are a better choice for picky fish. Rajeff Sports would like your ECHO experience to be a good one and we ask that you take care of your equipment with the following regular maintenance: Wash all components with warm freshwater after each days use in saltwater. Pay extra attention to the space where the guides meet the blank and the metal parts of the reel seat. Try to keep sand and dirt out of the ferrules. Occasionally use a few drops of any reel oil or grease on the reel seat threads to keep it operating smoothly. Paraffin wax can also be used on the ferrules if needed to ensure a proper fit. Do not use tape on your ferrules. If you do we’ll come steal all your bacon and PBR.
