Echo Solo X Fly Rod

ECHO SOLO X FLY ROD

Don't let the price tag fool you, this is a killer stick! This rod is not for advanced casters and anglers who have been around the block, but its our favorite beginner, or backup rod! The price point means you are getting an overseas rod with no frills, but with the same commitment to castability and durability that Echo is known for. In our opinion this is an unbeatable rod at this price point.

If you are getting into the sport this is a great starting point. Or, if you need a beater rod for a salmon trip or DIY backcountry trout trip, look no further. 

From Echo:

The entry level price point into fly fishing has increasingly moved away from specialty retailers and into the hands of  direct-to-consumer-only brands that are able to sell at a lower price without the extra link in the distribution chain. The Solo X is our effort to give some of that leverage back to retailers while maintaining the Echo quality and experience. 

The Solo X is the best all-around price-point rod we’ve constructed. Progressive actions allow anglers of all skill levels to fish effectively in varying conditions. Durable, no-nonsense design ensures years of fishing pleasure without having to touch your inheritance. Solo X rods do not come with a hard case. They will come with a sock. We like socks.
