The Echo Gecko
Everybody at Headhunters loves the Echo Gecko rod. We have mentioned it on our blog many times in the past here, here, and here. Here are some of the reasons why we love this rod:
- The medium-fast action is very forgiving when fish aren’t given the chance to run. If a kid clamps down on the line, the rod doubles over on itself and hangs onto the fish.
- It has a narrow grip well suited for smaller hands.
- The fighting butt allows for two-handed roll casting and helps smaller anglers fight larger fish.
- It looks rad. Enough said.
It is the perfect rod for introducing kids to the sport. A lot of us started fishing with junky rods that got handed down by people who did not want them anymore. Because they were junk. Junky rods are not the way to get kids excited and in love with the sport.
If you want your kids to love fly fishing as much as you do, why not put the perfect tool in their hands?
