Echo Shadow X Fly Rod
Serious competitive anglers demand a rod that is both versatile and efficient. In competition, every cast, every drift, every motion—they all count. The Shadow X is a hybrid design that delivers pin-point accurate casts with Euro Nymph rigs, then picks up and delivers longer casts so you don’t need to carry two rods to be competitive. The medium-fast action blank is also the lightest we have ever created. It’s like a Formula One car with enough cargo space to take the kids and your dog to soccer practice.

Great balance between accuracy and reach. I use it in both nymphing and long drifts. The action is smooth and responsive, especially in windy conditions. A solid upgrade from my previous rod.
