Echo EPR Extreme Performance Fly Rods were expertly designed by Tim and Pat Ehlers to be one of the best at catching bigger fish. Featuring a super-fast tip to load easily at short distances and an incredibly powerful bottom half so reeling in those big catches is a breeze, this rod's performance is truly outstanding. A maintenance-free aluminum reel seat and fabric-covered rod case and sock makes caring for your Echo EPR easy and convenient.
