Modern Fast Glass

The B.A.G. is a rod designed for big game fisheries where you need to huck big rigs to big fish and do it quickly.  Something previously thought of as well outside the world of fiberglass rods!



Faster, Lighter, More Powerful.

“Slow” and “fiberglass” are no longer one-in-the-same.  The B.A.G. Quickshot is ready to fish all day and keep it snappy.  Zip streamers on quick short shots or lay on the throttle to go the distance.  

6wt to 10wt & Saltwater Ready!

Available in 6wt to 10wt in 8′ models.  The ideal fiberglass stick for your favorite inshore or offshore saltwater haunts.  It’s equally at home chucking big streamers to your favorite freshwater predators!



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.
