Echo Boost Fresh Single Handed Fly Rod
The Boost Fresh is a new edition of one of the most popular single-handed rods in the Echo range. Company founder and casting guru Tim Rajeff designed this trout rod for maximum line speeds, which is why the blank features a fast action and a crisp tip. If you want to enjoy a modern, versatile carbon fibre rod, then this mid-range rod is for you!
The blank of the Boost Fresh has a very fast recovery and allows the caster to form the tightest of loops. Even in windy conditions you are well prepared with this rod and can be sure that it will not let you down. If you are a fan of short movements in the casting stroke, then you will love this rod! However, in the lighter classes it has plenty of feel to serve fine dry flies with pinpoint accuracy and to protect thin tippets.
The Echo Boost Fresh is equipped with a lightweight aluminium reel seat, robust guide rings with ceramic inlays and chrome-plated snake rings. The half wells handle made from quality cork sits well in the hand and matches the green finish of the slim carbon fibre blank beautifully.
In short, if you're looking for a versatile trout rod with a crisp action and are a fan of high line speeds, this rod is an excellent choice for you. In the higher line classes it is a real workhorse, while in the lower classes it offers a balanced mix of feel and power.
Recommendations:
- #4 8 ft.: A slightly shorter rod that makes casting dry flies especially fun! A very well-balanced action that also allows the use of the finest leader tips. Ideal for small and medium-sized waters where accuracy and discretion are important.
- #4 9 ft.: If you need a little more line control and distance, this rod is a great choice! It casts almost anything and feels at home on a wide variety of waters. Casting dry flies, small nymphs and even lighter streamers is a real pleasure with this versatile rod!

With this powerful 5-piece rod you can really cover almost everything you need on the water all season long. It has enough feel to have fun with small dry flies and fine tippets, and still has enormous reserves of power when you're dealing with wind or simply need more juice.
