- Surprisingly nice for a rod that I may not pick up at a fly shop. Feels very well balanced and did what I was hoping it would do.
- A bit smaller of a grip than others; like the upturned full wells. Wobbly in close, but feels really good carrying 30-35’ of fly line. Shot 120’ of fly line in three false casts. A little sacrifice up close, but great at generating line speed.
- I like the smaller grip. This rod is fairly stiff up close, and I’d like more flex at 30’. It’s a very different experience at 50’ (medium) compared to 30’ (short). This is a great rod for distance, but maybe not in real situations. The rod doesn’t have dead spots and does the same job throughout the blank.
The Echo Boost Blue 11-weight was a pleasant surprise and one many anglers might overlook at first glance. It feels well balanced with a smaller, upturned full wells grip that stood out in a positive way. Up close, the rod is relatively stiff and a bit unsettled, but once carrying 30 to 35 feet of line it comes alive. At medium and long distances it generates excellent line speed, carries line efficiently, and has no dead spots through the blank. There is some sacrifice at short range, but for anglers who value distance and line speed, this rod performs exactly as intended. Overall, very hard to beat when price is factored in!
