Echo Fiberglass Spey 3108 - 10'8" 3wt
They designed this rod to be an all-around trout Spey rod. It is a firm three weight rod with a modest action which balances with a 270 grain head plus or minus 25 grains. We created the rod with this 270 grain target knowing most people have never fished with a glass Spey rod and will likely use a faster and more aggressive stroke than needed, so the added power in the rod will improve loop shape and help avoid throwing a tailing loop.
When casting with a more aggressive stroke most people benefit from a lighter line or stiffer rod. Soooooooo by making a 3108 rod handle 270 grains, we felt the power in the rod would help those new to Spey casting while more experienced anglers will be able to “tweak” their grain weight to match their casting style. Use a lighter head if you are an aggressive caster and a heavier head if you are used to Skagit style rods (slower action) or have experience casting glass or bamboo two-hand rods. We had fun fishing the Glass Spey rod making overhand casts with both one or two-hands. If you want to overhand cast your 3108 we recommend you use a standard WF6 or WF7 line.
The four-piece rod is 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 a 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.
