Tim’s fast action two hander. Built with a beefy butt section for those abrupt, bottom-hand power applications. Touch and go to Skagit casting, floating lines to big sink tips. It’s dialed.

Echo’s TR2 Spey Series (TR stands for Tim Rajeff, the designer of these rods) is a low-priced offering from Echo built for power. This series caters to anglers who prefer to use abrupt bottom-hand power and frequently find themselves making the touch-and-go or Skagit-style casts. The TR2 is stylish, lightweight, durable, and pretty caster-friendly… incredible attributes for a low-priced Spey rod. This rod is great for beginners and excels in its niche.

Blank

Graphite Fiber Construction - The blank of the TR2 Series is responsive and caster-friendly. A medium-fast action and tough graphite fiber construction mean the TR2 rods are a joy to cast and remain durable throughout seasons on the water. The TR2 has a glossy army green and black blank color and is finished with quality componentry.

Guides

Low Friction Ceramic Stripping Guides -The TR2 rods have ceramic stripping guides to allow line to move through the rods with ease. These guides create low friction and low resistance when casting or retrieving line to simplify an angler’s connection to the fish.

Chrome Snake Guides - Chrome snake guides add durable functionality to the design of the TR2 Spey rods. These guides stand up to abuse on and off the water.

Reel Seat

Anodized Aluminum - The TR2 Series has a corrosion-proof black anodized aluminum reel seat designed to protect against the elements and efficiently hold a Spey reel in place without adding extra weight to the rod. A double uplocking component (3wt-6wt) helps balance the rod and secure large reels. The larger Spey rods (7wt-8wt) have a double downlocking component to help balance the rods more efficiently.

Rod Tube

Fabric-Covered Rod Tube - The TR2 Spey rods come with a green fabric-covered rod tube and rod sock to store and transport the rod safely. Echo’s rod tube is tried and true and comes with an Echo insignia and rod model label.

Warranty

Echo Fly Rod Lifetime Warranty - Echo will repair or replace any defective or damaged rod for the entire lifetime of the original owner. All rods must be sent to Echo for repairs/service. As of 4/17/2019, Echo charges a $35 fee for fly rod repairs/replacements.

Action vs Power Comparison

The Action vs. Power matrix is used for comparison between ECHO rod models. Utilizing this chart, you’ll be able to choose an ECHO rod that best fits you and your personal casting stroke. The vertical axis indicates the rod’s power, while the horizontal axis indicates the rod’s action. In simple terms, two-hand rod action is derived from the top half of the rod, while power is derived from the bottom half.

Action:
Fast action rods feature softer tips than medium action rods and provide a ‘stiffer’ feel. Fast action rods excel in the hands of anglers with more aggressive casting strokes and greater stroke control. Medium action rods are ideal for anglers with more fluid casting strokes and have a larger ‘sweet spot’ for a wider range of casting strokes. Consistently throwing a tailing loop? Your rod’s action may not be a good fit to you and your casting stroke.

Power:
A rod’s power is its resistance to flexing under load. Powerful rods are ‘beefier’ through the bottom half, generate higher line speeds, and are more adept at keeping big fish pinned. Delicate rods are more presentation-oriented, protect light tippet, and are a better choice for picky fish.
