Echo Trout X Fly Rod
The Echo Trout X is a rod designed from scratch with the advanced caster in mind – to maximize the rod’s wide range of optimal casting distance. If you have an aggressive casting stroke, you can use a lighter line on this rod and if you are a smooth long stroke caster you will like this rod with a heavier line.
To help the rod’s casting efficiency, Echo did what they could to make the TROUT X rods light to help casting efficiency and to help protect light tippet. These rods are produced in a factory that has access to the latest and best carbon fiber material. They used lightweight guides and have done everything they can to shave weight from the rod to improve performance.
The rods are all four piece and coated with mist green gloss finish. The matching thread is included.

I’ve used the Echo Trout X for several weeks now and it casts smoothly even with a light line. The weight is well balanced and the guides don’t catch the line. Great for trout fishing in tight spots.

The rod feels responsive and casts farther than expected. I’m a medium stroke caster and it handles both light and medium lines well. The mist green finish looks clean and professional.

I switched from a heavier rod and noticed a significant improvement in casting distance and accuracy. The lightweight design makes it easy to carry and use in the field.
