| Echo 3 6127-4 Spey |
The Echo 3 6127-4 Spey Rod is the highest quality rod that Echo makes. Over the past handful of years, Echo has grown dear to many an angler and certainly, many a spey angler. The Echo DH and the TR Spey series have both offered a great price point while fishing beautifully. For people looking for great value-priced rods, this has been a common direction that we have pointed people in and they have been really satisfied.
The Echo 3 Spey goes one step further by using higher quality graphite which has worked to boost the rod’s over-all responsiveness, reduce weight and slim down the rod’s profile. Having casted both the DH and the TR line of rods, I was excited to get out on the water with the Echo 3.
Immediately, what I noticed was the smooth nature of this rod while casting. I started out by lining this rod with a 420gr Airflo Rage Compact and a 10 foot Airflo Polyleader. The rod flexed evenly into its midsection with a moderate power stroke. And the line, well it sailed out quite effortlessly. While trying to build line-speed with a more aggressive stroke, I had to be careful not to over-power the rod and instead, build the speed progressively before punching it to a stop. Under this amount of load, the rod has an uncanny smoothness, a friendliness and yet a sharper response than I had experienced in either the DH or the TR in the past.
