A Rod for Maximum Line Speed Built upon the original Boost series, The Boost Fresh is built for anglers with an aggressive casting stroke to achieve maximum line speed. The rods have shed some weight and actions refined to help you feel the rod load. Crisp, Fast Action The Boost is produced from a blend of intermediate modulus graphite fibers giving it the optimal blend of strength and performance. The choice in material allows maximum performance at an affordable price. Ultimate Balance of Power & Precision The Boost is the perfect rod for aggressive casters who can’t live without that modern, fast-action rod feel. 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.
