Echo Prime Fly Rod

When it comes to fishing in a saltwater environment, whether it’s a flat, marsh, open ocean, river, or anywhere else, you’re usually targeting moving fish where every second makes the difference between success and failure. Echo’s Prime Fly Rod is the perfect tool whenever you need to be making fast shots at moving fish. Designed with a medium fast action and 8’10” length, the Prime makes quick shots easy while decreasing torque and allowing you to feel your rod flex with each cast. To further increase feel and sensitivity, the Prime is made in a two-piece model as well as a four-piece; while the four-piece is the perfect choice for the traveling angler, the two-piece model is an even better choice for the angler looking to increase sensitivity and feel in their rod. Merging high-performance with ease of casting, Echo’s Prime Rod is their lightest saltwater rod ever, and with line weight options ranging from an 8 all the way to a 12, you can count on this stick whether you’re chasing striped bass on a flat or searching for the giant trevally of a lifetime deep on an atoll. 

Blank

Graphite - Echo’s Prime series is their lightest saltwater offering and it’s made out of a quality graphite. This graphite has a medium-fast action that makes for solid casting and instant feedback, as well as all of the durability you need to tackle rough salty environments. 

The Prime boasts a clean grey color with accenting light grey thread wraps. This blank won’t reflect light so you can fish on those skinny flats all day without concern of light reflection spooking fish. 

Guides

Solid Titanium Stripping Guide w/ SiC  Rings - Lightweight, durable, and reliably slick, these titanium stripper guides with an SiC insert are ready for all of your saltwater adventures. Made to be anti-corrosive and provide excellent line shootability, you’ll love these guides whenever you’re spending a week on the flats with far targets and demanding conditions. 

TICN-Coated Snake Guides (four-piece model) - A solid addition to the four-piece model, Echo outfits this version of their Prime with TICN-Coated Snake Guides. These guides are lightweight, durable, and prevent corrosion for extended use in saltwater conditions. 

Titanium alloy snake guides (two-piece model) - For their two-piece options, Echo adds pure Titanium Alloy Snake Guides. These guides are also lightweight, durable, and anti-corrosive to ensure that you’re never facing issues after long seasons on the water.   

Reel Seat

Aluminum Reel Seat - In their Prime family of rods, Echo adds an aluminum reel seat with a dual-uplocking configuration. This design is lightweight, anti-corrosive, and sure to keep your reel secure no matter what fish you’re fighting. An added Kraken logo only increases the saltwater appeal of this slick rod. 

Rod Tube

Equipped with a sturdy rod tube, Echo’s Prime Rod stays protected everywhere you take it, and its Kraken labeling will keep your mind on the salt all year long. 

Warranty 

As of August 2022, all Echo rods are covered by their warranty policy for the natural life of the rod for its original owner, wholly at the discretion of Rajeff Sports. The warranty for Echo rods is covered by a service fee, and/or if the rod is discontinued or non-repairable, Echo will offer an equivalent replacement at 50% of the MSRP. Echo’s warranty applies to any damage that occurs while on the water, so whether you’ve snapped your rod on the fish of a lifetime or the wind quickly changed direction while throwing a heavy stonefly, Echo has your back. However, Echo will not cover damages caused by general neglect, whether that be your rod getting closed in a car door or your dog using the cork as a teething ring.
