FISH EFFECTIVELY WITHOUT BREAKING THE BANK
When people struggle learning to fly fish, they change their line, their fly, or their underwear… when maybe the rod was the problem the whole time. The LIFT is built on the shoulders of our extremely popular ECHO Base series with updated actions to suit a wider range of casting styles. Few rods out there offer the bang-for-buck value of the ECHO LIFT. And we specifically designed it to continue to impress you whether you’re still learning or many years in to your fly fishing career.
Action vs Power Comparison
The Action vs. Power matrix is used for comparison between ECHO rod models. Utilizing this chart, you’ll be able to choose an ECHO rod that best fits you and your personal casting stroke. The vertical axis indicates the rod’s power, while the horizontal axis indicates the rod’s action. In simple terms, single-hand rod action is derived from the top half of the rod, while power is derived from the bottom half.
Action:
Fast action rods feature softer tips than medium action rods and provide a ‘stiffer’ feel. Fast action rods excel in the hands of anglers with more aggressive casting strokes and greater stroke control. Medium action rods are ideal for anglers with more fluid casting strokes and have a larger ‘sweet spot’ for a wider range of casting strokes. Consistently throwing a tailing loop? Your rod’s action may not be a good fit to you and your casting stroke.
Power:
A rod’s power is its resistance to flexing under load. Powerful rods are ‘beefier’ through the bottom half, generate higher line speeds, and are more adept at keeping big fish pinned. Delicate rods are more presentation-oriented, protect light tippet, and are a better choice for picky fish.
