Rods are typically designed around casting at 30′-50′ distances – It was time to think outside of that box. Using Echo's Variable Sweet Spot technology, they developed a line of five unique rods that load and cast at any distance. A rod designed from scratch with the advanced caster in mind – to maximize the rod’s wide range of optimal casting distance. TROUT X 376-4 “When making shorter casts it is best to use a rod that is not overly stiff so it can load or flex with a small amount of line out the rod tip.” – Tim Rajeff TROUT X 484-4 “Our “shorter” 4 weight rod has been designed to protect light tippet and function in all but the largest rivers. ” – Tim Rajeff TROUT X 490-4 “The 490 TROUT X rod is the rod we expect you will want to fish spring creeks or super finicky trout on medium to larger rivers.” – Tim Rajeff TROUT X 590-4 “….stiff enough to fish streamers, hopper dropper rigs, and indicators in all but the windiest conditions. It is the ½ ton pickup truck of fly rods.” – Tim Rajeff TROUT X 690-4 “You grab your six weight when you have wind, need to throw far, are throwing big, heavy flies, or when you are throwing big nymphs + indicator rigs.” – Tim Rajeff
