Fast action with a ton of power, Echo’s EPR is the perfect stick for anglers who like to throw BIG flies. Whether you’re targeting big tailwater browns, chucking huge swim flies for bass or faced with a stiff head wind, the EPR will help your cast in all of those situations. Made of light weight/high modulus graphite, even an 8 weight won’t wear your casting arm down like a lot of other heavier weight rods will do. The full wells cork handle helps gain a better grip to launch those bulkier bugs out tight to the banks. An excellent mix of quality and affordability. Also a great rod to pair with Airflo’s Power Taper line!
