First Look - ECHO Glass Switch & Spey

When Tim Rajeff and I first started talking about a possible glass line up from ECHO Fly Fishing early last year, he asked what they could do outside of the typical trout weight rods that might interest the glass geeks out there.  My first suggestion was to design a couple fiberglass fly rods in the switch and spey catagory at a price that wouldn't break the piggy bank.  Tim was very receptive to the idea and figured that it could be done but wanted to get the ECHO Glass series out first which they have done with very positive reviews all around.

Tim and I talked again early this year and he mentioned that they had been messing around with a couple prototypes which were promising and he figured that it would be a limited series of just a couple fly rods.  I was more than happy with that since there just aren't to many choices with glass two handers and two is better than nothing at all. 


Fast forward to a few days ago and this image popped up on the ECHO Instagram page which should get quite a few people excited.  There are more than two long rods in this series and the price point shouldn't scare anyone off either.
