Echo Carbon XL Euro Nymph
Product Description
An Inexpensive Way To Start Euro Nymphing
With the growing demand for specialized Euro Nymph rods, the demand for a rod that fits the needs of anglers that are not looking to compete at the national championships has also been growing. We used our extremely popular Carbon XL rod as a tried-and-true foundation to make a rod that met and exceeded the expectations of these anglers.
Balanced Action and Power for Maximum Versatility
Competition-style Euro Nymph rods can be so specialized that they aren’t always the right tool for most recreational anglers. By using the Carbon XL.’s already versatile design and extending the length to 10′, we produced a rod that is not only capable of anything a trout angler needs, but excels at it.
A Trout Rod for Every Occasion
Perfect for any style of nymphing, dry flies, lake fishing, and more! We took an already great rod, gave it a new tip section as well as a few other upgrades, and made one of our most versatile fishing tools to date.
Action vs Power Comparison
The Action vs. Power matrix is used for comparison between ECHO rod models. Utilizing this chart, you’ll be able to choose an ECHO rod that best fits you and your personal casting stroke. The vertical axis indicates the rod’s power, while the horizontal axis indicates the rod’s action. In simple terms, single-hand rod action is derived from the top half of the rod, while power is derived from the bottom half.
Action:
Fast action rods feature softer tips than medium action rods and provide a ‘stiffer’ feel. Fast action rods excel in the hands of anglers with more aggressive casting strokes and greater stroke control. Medium action rods are ideal for anglers with more fluid casting strokes and have a larger ‘sweet spot’ for a wider range of casting strokes. Consistently throwing a tailing loop? Your rod’s action may not be a good fit to you and your casting stroke.
Power:
A rod’s power is its resistance to flexing under load. Powerful rods are ‘beefier’ through the bottom half, generate higher line speeds, and are more adept at keeping big fish pinned. Delicate rods are more presentation-oriented, protect light tippet, and are a better choice for picky fish.
