Echo Compact Spey Double Handed Fly Rod
The Echo Compact Spey is a very small but equally impressive double handed fly rod that will please the most demanding fly fishermen!
As the name implies, this is a very compact double handed rod, which is reminiscent of a switch rod. But in fact, the Compact Spey is a “true” small double handed rod, that was designed for a maximum Spey casting performance. It offers a very smooth and forgiving action, and its medium-fast blank will perform a bit slower, which makes the correct timing of your casting much easier. Nevertheless, the relatively quick recovery of this rod enables tight loops and impressive casting distances without feeling overly stiff. Further, the lightweight high-modulus carbon blank is perfectly balanced, which provides this rod with a noticeable lightness – even after hours of fishing.
In fact, all models from this very convincing rod series are 12 feet long and therefore the ideal choice for small rivers and spots with limited space. Combined with compact Scandi und Skagit shooting heads the versatile action of this rod is a true pleasure. Whether you are targeting steelhead in Canada, salmon in Norway or sea trout in a Danish stream: The soulful Echo Compact Spey is the perfect companion for small rivers with large and strong inhabitants!
