The Echo ION XL series, by Tim Rajeff, offers a significant upgrade in performance and weight reduction, now 20% lighter while maintaining enhanced sensitivity. These saltwater-grade rods are designed for demanding conditions, featuring medium-fast to fast actions that excel in delivering large flies into strong winds. With added power, these rods provide a precise balance of strength and responsiveness, making them ideal for both freshwater and saltwater environments.

The ION XL rods boast a striking Gloss Pearl-Grey blank, equipped with full-wells grips for optimal control, an anodized aluminum reel seat with a fighting butt for added stability, and oversized stripper guides for smooth line flow. Single-foot snake guides, section alignment dots, and a 30-inch fish hero mark enhance usability. Each rod is supplied with a Cordura-covered rod tube for protection and portability.

Echo ION XL Complete Outfits provide a fully matched fly fishing solution, including your choice of ION XL rod, Echo Ion Fly Reel, floating WF fly line, backing, and complimentary rigging. Specify right or left-handed retrieve, and the outfit will arrive pre-rigged and ready for immediate use.

The Echo ION XL series represents an excellent blend of power, precision, and value for serious anglers.
