Echo Compact Spey Fly Rod
Modern Spey Action in a Compact Length
With trends in modern spey lines getting increasingly compact, it was time the rods were designed with these new lines in mind. By using our years of spey rod development experience along with the expertise of spey casting champion Mariusz Wrobewski, we produced our most advanced spey rods we have ever produced.
Action and Length for Modern Compact Spey Lines
Spey lines have evolved since they hit the mainstream, yet the rods have remained largely the same. So we started from scratch to find the ideal flex and length to most effectively fish today’s most popular types of compact two-hand lines.

The rod feels balanced and responsive when casting with modern compact lines. It’s easier to handle than longer spey rods and works well in tight spaces like rocky streams.
