    ECHO ION XL 890 FLY ROD : 8WT, 9'0"


    The Echo Ion XL 9'0", 8wt fly rod is a perfect choice for chasing bonefish on saltwater flats and redfish in the backcountry. The Echo Ion 890XL is also excels swinging flies to steelhead, launching big bass bugs to smallmouth and largemouth bass, and streamer fishing huge browns. This versatile 8wt is the perfect choice for covering big water with ease, throwing saltwater flies in the wind, and effortlessly sending big bass bugs straight to their target. The Echo Ion XL fly rods are stiff, powerful rods designed to throw tight loops in windy conditions. This 8wt is ideal for anglers with a fast, aggressive casting stroke and is a tough workhorse rod to cover multiple species.


    Casting large flies into a stiff breeze is best done with high line speed and tight loops. Fighting big fish often requires rods with a stiff backbone. Creating a rod that can do both well without causing undue hand and arm fatigue is no easy task. Generating high line speed without fatigue was the design goal for the Echo Ion XL series of rods. If you plan to cast all day and still have enough strength to drive home you need a rod with just enough power to get the fly to the fish and a little extra power in reserve ‰۷just in case‰۪. The Ion XL rods are the toughest, strongest rods Echo has ever produced and will take anything you can throw at them. You might be tempted to buy the Echo Ion XL because of its cool matte stealth grey blank, but we think you should buy one because of its perfect blend of action and power.


    Echo is legendary for building exceptional, high-performance rods that rival the best rods on the market, at a much lower price. The Echo Ion XL fly rods are definitely a best performance value. If you are looking for a powerful fast-action rod that won‰۪t break the bank, the Echo Ion XL was made for you!

    Great rod at a even greater price. Definitely a mid fast rod but properly loaded can shoot line pretty far, at least for me. Finish is nice and semi classy. Handle feels really good and overall the rod doesn't feel heavy after serval hrs fishing. Would get 5 if it had a hook ring, but heck it has a lifetime warranty and under 200 bucks! Reel fly rod has great shipping and prices
