Nymph fishing with strike indicators requires a high level of skill and line control to maintain the natural drift of the nymph over greater distances and in more complex currents. The Echo Indicator Fly Rod was developed specifically for this purpose. The 9.6 ft. to 10 ft. long blank offers long, powerful casts with heavy nymph rigs, a bit more reach for controlled drifts especially during longer drifts, and an action that allows you to handle large fish on thin tippets with smaller hooks. This rod is also excellent for streamer and stillwater fishing due to its powerful, fast, yet progressive action. Because of its length and action, this series is also ideal for fishing with shooting heads, not only for trout but also for sea trout or salmon.
The dark brown blank is equipped with high-quality snake guides to handle thicker WF lines or shooting heads excellently and visually matches the theme of 'nymph fishing' and 'salmonids' with the golden decorative wraps. The well-formed, high-quality cork grip, complemented by a fighting butt, ensures a secure hold and comfort during powerful double-haul casts. The rod is rounded off by the high-quality aluminum reel seat with double locking nuts, which securely fixes the reel.
Conclusion: The Echo Indicator is an excellent choice for anglers looking for a powerful rod for all aspects of nymph fishing, but also for stillwater or streamer fishing. It offers a balanced ratio of power and sensitivity to handle various types of waters and fish sizes. Additionally, it is incredibly fun to cast and, when combined with the right line, is a true distance talent.
