››Versatile TR stands for Tim Rajeff. Tim knows a little about fly casting. He designed the TR to be a versatile Skagit, Scandi, do everything rod. This rod will get the job done. It tracks well and recovers quickly. It’s a bit heavier than the more expensive rods, but it’s a lot of rod for the money. ECHO TR 6126 ››Speedy startup The Echo TR is initialed by the one and only Tim Rajeff. This rod, like all of Tim’s rods at Echo, are designed to fish. The TR 6126 has a progressive taper and a fast loading butt section. Speed is the name of the game. Laced up with either Skagit or Scandi comps, it is a great pairing, and would be a great place to start for anyone! ››Budget friendly I have been looking at the Echo TR for a possible rod to use this year. I had a chance to cast it with a Scandi head and it handled very well for my less then perfect casts. It is as Echo calls it, a fast-ish action rod. Again this was a 12' 6" 6wt. I would have no problem recommending this rod to anyone wanting to get started with spey casting on a budget.
