Echo TR2 (Tim Rajeff) Trout Spey
Built for anglers who like to drive the cast, the Echo TR2 Spey Rod continues Tim Rajeff’s mission of making two-hand casting easier, more efficient, and more powerful.
The TR2 features a deeper reserve of power in the lower half of the blank, designed to respond smoothly to a more assertive stroke without feeling harsh or overly fast. The result is a rod that forms tight, efficient loops with minimal effort and delivers consistent distance whether you’re working short Skagit heads or stretching into longer swing water.
Paired with a Skagit Compact, the TR2 settles into a controlled tempo that makes managing sink tips and heavy flies noticeably easier. It maintains enough responsiveness to handle touch-and-go casts when conditions allow, but its true strength lies in delivering reliable performance under pressure.

Jake McDonald –
The TR2 has made a big difference in my casting accuracy. I’ve been using it with a Skagit Compact and can now handle heavy flies with confidence. The rod feels balanced and responds well to a strong, driving stroke without being too stiff.
Nicola Hudson –
I tried several spey rods before settling on the TR2. It’s more forgiving than I expected, especially when casting into tight spaces. The loop formation is tight and consistent, which helps with distance and control.
David Jones –
After switching from a lighter action rod, the TR2 gives me better feedback on the water. It handles both short and long casts well, and the power reserve in the lower section is exactly what I needed for deeper water fishing.
