Easy accuracy at a variety of ranges
Utilizing a perfectly progressive taper, light tip, and a shorter rod length makes the 84B a champion at accurate casts over a variety of distances, fly sizes, and wind conditions.
Shorter Length for faster pick-up and fun
Going with a shorter length rod gives you easier line pickup, better accuracy, better castability in wind and best of all, the spritely feel makes it fun to cast all day.
Great for streamers and a wide range of bass flies
The combination of the progressive taper, perfect power and shorter length makes casting a wide range of flies easy.
Following the big success of the 84B iEcho heeded the call to add a 9 and 10
weight. The little “fun slingers” offer fast,
accurate presentation, and the shorter
length is perfect for working overgrown
shorelines.

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.
