Nick Hilton putting the ION XL to work on a SOLID brown! 🤘
“A 20-25 minute fight took me and my buddies chasing it up the stream, through rapids, and past our waders. This fish was determined on getting away from the second I set the hook. What an absolute pleasure to shake hands with a beast like this, who can fight like that.”

“Who wouldn’t want more line speed?”
That question from Flip Pallot sparked the design of a rod built to meet the realities of saltwater fishing including wind, long casts, heavy flies, and the need for accuracy under pressure. In the hands of a skilled angler, increased line speed overcomes many of these challenges. The solution is a longer lever, refined carefully to maintain balance, recovery, and
control.
After months of prototyping and testing, Tim and Flip landed on the ideal length of 9’3”. Available in 6 through 10 weights, every Overcast rod is designed to maximize line speed while preserving feel and precision.
Tim and Flip spent nearly a year bringing the Overcast from vision to reality. Final component updates had just been completed when Flip was tragically taken from us. More than a collaborator, he was a friend and an inspiration. The Overcast stands as his legacy at Echo, a rod built without compromise and designed to elevate the angler holding it.
The Overcast series is available now at a fly shop near you.
