Echo Shadow II Single-Handed Fly Rod
Steve Rajeff and the Echo team have developed the Shadow II series especially for nymph fishing when you need maximum range but still like to fish with ultralight equipment. Small sweeping waters are as easy to fish as current edges in large rivers. The length of the fly rod offers a huge advantage in guiding the fly and end of the fly line, which will not only delight fans of the Czech Nymphing or French Nymphing. The action is mid-paced and a bit softer, making the Shadow II very well suited for dry fly fishing as well (if space permits). Especially at a long distance, this is a pleasure, such as when fishing clear mountain lakes.
The blank and all components (reel seat, rings) are colored black, so you draw as little attention as possible while on the water and reduce your spooking-effect of shy fish.
If you want to further increase the reach of your Shadow II (only Class 3 and 4), there is the Echo Shadow II Competition Kit which features two extension pieces.
