Even though there was an early heads up on the new Echo Fly Fishing Glass Spey series of two-handers, the official news release was sent out last week which you'll find below. I'll follow this post in the coming days with some notes from Tim Rajeff on the series that will be a fun read as you consider adding one, or several, of these fiberglass two-handers to your stash.
I have all three models in hand and working on matching lines to each for some spring two-hander play around here. Striped bass on the Saluda River? I think so.
From the Echo Fly Fishing presser...
Echo Fly Fishing is proud to announce the launch of its new Glass Spey Rods, a family of fiberglass two-hand rods designed for modern anglers who value the feel of the cast as much as the thrill of the catch.
Blending timeless materials with contemporary casting styles, the Glass Spey series offers the perfect balance of performance, comfort, and durability. Featuring moderate-to-fast actions tailored for today’s shorter line heads and compact casting strokes, these rods deliver remarkable line speed while reducing fatigue during long days on the water. Built with advanced S2 glass fibers, these rods also provide enhanced shock absorption, Glass fibers form a more effective shock absorber and can help you land a fish quickly, contributing to better fish health.
Key Features of the Glass Spey Rod Series:
Optimized Actions for Modern Casting: Designed with medium-fast actions that suit compact casting strokes, providing effortless line speed with less physical strain.
Lightweight & Durable Construction: Increased blank diameter with thinner walls results in lighter rods with faster recovery and improved performance.
Enhanced Angler Experience: Fiberglass composition offers a softer, more responsive feel that both novice and experienced anglers will appreciate.
Versatile Lengths & Line Weights: Available in three models to suit a variety of fishing scenarios:
- 3108 (10’8”, #3): A trout Spey rod with a 270-grain target, perfect for light, all-around use.
- 61110 (11’10”, #6): A summer-run steelhead rod designed for floating heads and versatile enough for Skagit setups.
- 7120 (12’0”, #7): A powerhouse rod for medium to large rivers, offering exceptional control for all-season fishing.
Each Glass Spey rod is coated in a translucent pale olive finish with dark olive thread wraps, complemented by TICN-coated guides, a low-maintenance anodized reel seat, and a modified full wells grip for ergonomic comfort. Matching fiberglass rod tubes complete the package.
Echo Fly Fishing invites anglers to rediscover the joy of casting with fiberglass. The Glass Spey series combines modern innovation with classic materials, creating rods that are as functional as they are fun to fish.
