Echo Carbon XL Instructor Single Handed Fly Rod
The Carbon XL single handed rods from Echo are known for their excellent price-performance ratio and a balanced medium-fast action that suits all casting styles and covers a wide range of applications on the water. From sensitive fishing with delicate dry flies, to the presentation of weighted nymphs, to fishing with streamers for large brown trout, everything is possible with this universal rod.
With the XL Instructor, rod building expert and casting guru Tim Rajeff has now designed a special edition, which stands out above all for its white blank. This does not only look fresh, but is also very practical for casting presentations and casting courses: The rod movements with a white blank can be traced better - a big plus for instructors, course participants and spectators.
Apart from the modern finish with the striking white blank and the black spacer made of anodised aluminium, the features of the Echo Carbon XL Instructor corresponds to the regular Carbon XL series: This includes discreet markings for the exact alignment of the four pieces, high-quality guide rings with ceramic inlay as well as chrome-plated snake rings.
Not without reason Tim Rajeff has just picked out the Carbon XL to design a rod for instructors on its basis. The versatility of these modern carbon fibre rods suits the vast majority of fly fishermen and their performance is wonderfully easy to retrieve with any casting style over any distance. A great all-round rod for domestic fishing for trout, grayling and co. and far more than a demonstration rod for casting demos and casting courses. If you are looking for a rod in #5 with a white blank, you will not be able to pass by the Echo Carbon XL Instructor.
