Echo Fiberglass Spey 7120- 12′ 7wt 4pc

A seven weight is the most popular line size for two hand rods for a good reason. The reason they are our most popular selling two-hand rods is their ability to fish all four seasons effectively. The use of shorter heads and more condensed casting strokes has contributed to the popularity of rods with modest actions. Our 7120 Fiberglass Spey rod was designed to take advantage of modern two-hand anglers who demand a rod that responds to their more condensed / compact casting strokes. Decades of rod and line design experience helped mold the 7120 glass Spey into one of the most versatile seven weight rods they have ever made. 

Knowing people will fish a seven weight in medium to larger rivers, we felt it important that any rod we make satisfy people’s need for higher line speed to help with longer distance using a standard casting stroke. We were tempted to stretch the length of the glass 7120 rod until it matches the 13’ full Spey rods that people like for larger rivers. It was our experience designing glass rods that convinced us to stick to a more compact length rod and settled on 12’0” as the best length for our 7 weight glass Spey rod.  This length rod allows people to maintain the faster paced sweep and delivery they know from their carbon fiber rods. We designed the 7120 to balance with 500 grains plus or minus 30 grains. As with the other glass Spey rods if you are a more aggressive casting use a lighter line if you are a smoother caster and or if you are going to focus on Skagit heads uses a heavier line. 

When first casting a 7120 glass rod it only take a few casts before it is evident that simply slowing down one’s stroke allows the glass fibers to load and contribute more to the cast. Unlike a graphite two-hand rod, the ECHO Glass 7120 will help everyone feel the rod load throughout the casting stroke helping timing and loop formation. We fish glass rods not because we are trying to win a casting contest, we use ECHO glass rods because they are fun to cast and lessen the stress on our arm after a full day on the water.
 
Like the other ECHO Fiberglass Spey rods the 7120 is a four-piece rod coated with translucent pale olive paint. The Dark olive thread complements the blank color and firmly holds the TICN coated guides to the blank. The rods come with a low maintenance anodized all metal reel seat and an extended modified traditional full wells grip to allow the angler to move their hand to take advantage of their preferred grip and casting style. The fiberglass rod tube color matches the blank.
