Echo Fiberglass Spey 61110- 11′ 10″ 6wt 4pc

Welcome to your new favorite summer run two-hand rod. The goal for our six-weight glass rod was to make a fun casting rod that excels in casting floating heads with compact strokes. Add 30 grains to the head and slow your stroke down and you can use the 61110 as a light Skagit rod. It was designed to be a middle of the road / versatile six weight rod which balances with a 425 grain head plus or minus 25 grains. With the power to comfortably throw 425 grains, the 6 weight ECHO Fiberglass Spey rod will handle most fishing situations we come across when throwing modest to long distances using Scandi or Skagit heads.
 
The secret to making a rod that comfortably casts different head styles is to keep the action moderate, not too fast, or too slow. We made the 61110 to be as light all around steelhead rod but expect people will love it for any anadromous fish. The nature of glass fibers makes this rod feel like it will flex more than people expect and they might not believe the rod has enough juice to throw a longer cast. It can take a little time for some to adjust to efficiently casting a glass rod but once they “settle down” discover glass rods can be effective casting tools. Put a line on the rod and hit the water and begin to understand why the Glass 61110 rod will quickly become one of the most popular summer run / lighter two hand rods on the river.
 
Like all ECHO Fiberglass Spey rods, the 61110 is a four-piece rod coated with translucent pale olive paint which will really pop when back lit by the sun. Dark olive thread bind the TICN coated guides to the blank. It comes with a low maintenance anodized all metal reel seat and an extended modified traditional full wells grip to allow the angler to move their hands around depending on their preferred grip and casting style. The fiberglass rod tube color matches the blank.
