Echo Trip 5wt travel rod
Purchased this rod to use on frequent business trips from CA to WA, OR and ID where I can sneak out for a short fishing session. Wanted a small rod to pack inside a case. This rod is perfect for what i wanted. Action is Med/Fast, casts well with dry and nymph set-ups. I really forget it is an 8 piece vs 4 piece rod. Use an older Ross CLA2 reel with an extra spool, one with floating, one with sinking line. With minimum gear I cover most fishing needs and everything packs easily in my hard luggage. I couldn't be happier with the Echo quality, definitely an excellent price to value ratio. Would not hesitate to recommend this as a great travel rod. Platte River Fly Shop has been great to deal with, excellent customer service.
