Echo BAG (Bad Ass Glass) Quickshot Single-Handed Saltwater Fly Rod
Bad Ass Glass! The innovators at Echo have developed the BAG Quickshot single-handed fly rod to satisfy the demands of fiberglass-loving veterans and newcomers alike. The BAG Quickshot is a beautiful fiberglass rod that was designed for the rigors of saltwater fishing. They give the caster a unique feel that a carbon fiber rod simply can not deliver. The stunning translucent, sky-blue blank pairs extremely well with the stainless, low friction stripping guides and snake rings. An up-locking, all-aluminum, corrosion-resistant reel seat will keep your mind at ease after salty trips to the sea. These rods feature a cork grip with a fighting butt that has a synthetic bumper on the end for added durability. While this rod was designed for saltwater use, taking it to your local lake to tackle Pike or Perch will leave a huge grin on your face, too!
The Echo BAG Quickshot has a fast action that can create a high line speed while having enough power in the bottom-end of the rod to shoot your large weighted patterns and line into high winds. Due to the fiberglass construction, these rods have phenomenal pulling power for fighting big fish, which can handle strong pumps even when fully loaded, protecting your tippet and keeping the hook buried.
The four piece rods break down to store in the beautiful, color-matched fiberglass rod tube and rod sock.
If you’re interested in getting into the fiberglass game or want to add a cool new saltwater stick to your arsenal, then look no further!
