    Default Echo Fly rod

    I bought an Echo from Cabelas about 3 years ago and love it... It is green and it is a 4pc. 4wt. 8 ft. I cant seem to find them like this any more.... I want this same rod in a 9 foot. If anyone has any clues to find these rods or has one or knows some one that has one and wants to get rid of it, that would be great.
    Thanks, Travis

    Try this:

    I'm guessing that this is the 2nd generation of your rod.

    The Echo 2 is a different rod. The Original Echo series were replaced last year by the Carbon (3 to 6wt) and Ion (7 to 10wt) series rods.

    Echo Classic....they are great rods, I have a 3wt that I really like. It's too bad they stopped making them. Good luck finding one.

    It's a shame they quit making them because they are damn good rods.

    a buddy of mine just tried one out (the 10' 6wt) and it broke within 6 casts. But, and this is a big but, their warranty is phenomenal (he already has his new one in hand with minimal wait time). The fact that he got one lemon, wouldn't sway me from looking into them. I guess the point is, don't let the occasional lemon sway your thinking.

    Hi,

    I have a 7'6" 3 weight (4 piece) Echo that I really like. Picked it up from here actually. Didn't know they weren't making them any more. A shame as it's a great rod.
