SOMETIMES, you find yourself
in need of new rod or looking for a nice backup that won’t break the bank. Either way, you
want a quality rod that won’t hurt your wallet.
Well, you’re in luck. We have an unbelievable
deal on selected Echo's Solo Rods that fit that
description. We are offering the 5wt and 6wt
9' rods and the 4wt 8'6" rod for a low price of
$49.95. And trust me, at these prices, they won’t
last long.
When I worked for the state Fish and Wildlife
Dept., I had contact with a lot of anglers on our
local rivers and lakes. One of the most common
things I ran into was fly anglers who had broken
their rod, without having a backup rod with
them. I would be asked many times if I knew
any place they could rent or buy an affordable
rod. At that time, we did not have any place that
I could send them. I felt sorry for these people
due to the fact a lot of them had traveled from
outside the area and, for a large number of
them, came from quite a distance.

SOLOROD

Then, we have all had that friend or family
member that wanted to try their hand at fly
fishing, but were not quite ready to take the
plunge to purchase a rod. As you know, what
usually happens is that you graciously loan
them your rod for them try it out, leaving you
without a rod on the trip. Of course, it doesn’t
help if they just so happen to break it on the
trip as well and leaving you completely rod-less.
But, now is the time to buy that back up rod or
new rod that you have been putting on hold for
a while. The Echo Solo rod is a good, mediumfast action rod that’s very well-built. Plus, this
tough, four-piece rod also comes with a sock
and hard tube to carry it. At $49.95, you get a
great rod while still having gas money to get you
your favorite waters.
Don't be that angler that has to cut their fishing
trip short due to a broken rod or left out cause
you don't have a rod to use when your buddy
wants to go out on the water for the day. Stop
by one of our shops and take advantage of this
great deal. You can also order one of these rods
from our online store by clicking the buy online
button on the next page.
