Echo CARBON-XL Fly Rods

High-performance at a low price, Echo’s Carbon XL Fly Rods are a do-it-all option for fly anglers of all skill types. Made with a “medium-faster” action, this rod has a bit more “zip in the tip” and a nice balance of power,  making it a great choice for windy days, heavy nymph rigs, or heavier fish. Designed in line weights 3 through 6 with various lengths, the Carbon XL offers a range of options that accommodate anything from tiny blue lines all the way to larger flowing rivers. Modestly priced under $200, the Carbon XL is a reliable choice whether you’re a new angler just getting started, need a backup, or are the guy who spends 98% of their year fishing in the saltwater and needs a rod to take on a random trip to Montana. A rod that’s versatile, easy to cast, and feels good in your hand, Echo’s Carbon XL is ready for anything from multi-nymph rigs and heavy streamers all the way to technical dry fly drifts.

Blank

Graphite - Made to be affordable and perform well on the water, the Carbon XL features a graphite blank. This medium-fast action blank offers smooth casting and just the right amount of power, making it a functional tool at a great price. 

The Carbon XL also has a clean rosewood blank with matching thread wraps, which gives a sharp look everywhere you’re casting; an integrated hook keeper also makes your life nice and easy while en route to the next pool.

Warranty 

As of August 2022, all Echo rods are covered by their warranty policy for the natural life of the rod for its original owner, wholly at the discretion of Rajeff Sports. The warranty for Echo rods is covered by a service fee, and/or if the rod is discontinued or non-repairable, Echo will offer an equivalent replacement at 50% of the MSRP. Echo’s warranty applies to any damage that occurs while on the water, so whether you’ve snapped your rod on the fish of a lifetime or the wind quickly changed direction while throwing a heavy stonefly, Echo has your back. However, Echo will not cover damages caused by general neglect, whether that be your rod getting closed in a car door or your dog using the cork as a teething ring.
