Echo Carbon XL Euro Nymph Fly Rods
The Carbon XL’s diverse skillset just expanded in scope with the new Euro Nymph models. Using the Carbon XL’s medium-fast action as our standard, we extended the length to 10’ while maintaining the same feel as the family from which it was born. The result is a sophisticated balance of action, power and affordability that even the most discerning nymph enthusiasts will take seriously. Don’t let its name limit your enjoyment of it, though; it will gladly fish dries or indicators when the situation demands it.
| MODEL | LENGTH | LINE | PCS | WEIGHT | ACTION |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| CBXL-3100N | 10' | 3 | 4 | 3.4oz | Med Fast |
| CBXL-4100N | 10' | 4 | 4 | 3.7oz | Med Fast |
Sensitivity is good when fishing nymphs and will cast a fairly heavy weighted streamer/bugger provided you use a WF Line, not a specialized euro nymphing line. Will also cast a dry quite well with good accuracy using an appropriate line, WF or DT.
My personal preference is a WF for all around use with this rod, letting me choose any type fly I wish to use by simply changing my leader set-up.
This review is based on the 3wt
Hope this helps in making your decision, and I think you'll be please with whichever you decide to go with (3wt. or 4wt.).
Another quality rod from ECHO at a price point that can't be beat for the quality and performance.
This is a great rod to learn how to Euro-Nymph. Even landed a hefty Smallmouth with it. Can't beat the price either.
