The reel seat has a removable fighting butt and comes with weightrings. Each rod comes with a custom fiberglass rod tube.

Action vs PowerComparison
The Action vs. Power matrix is used for comparison between ECHO rod models. Utilizing this chart, youll be able to choose an ECHO rod that best fits you and your personal casting stroke. The vertical axis indicates the rods power, while the horizontal axis indicates the rods action. In simple terms, single-hand rod action is derived from the top half of the rod, while power is derived from the bottom half.

Action:
Fast action rods feature softer tips than medium action rods and provide a stiffer feel. Fast action rods excel in the hands of anglers with more aggressive casting strokes and greater stroke control. Medium action rods are ideal for anglers with more fluid casting strokes and have a larger sweet spot for a wider range of casting strokes. Consistently throwing a tailing loop? Your rods action may not be a good fit to you and your casting stroke.

Power:
A rods power is its resistance to flexing under load. Powerful rods are beefier through the bottom half, generate higher line speeds, and are more adept at keeping big fish pinned. Delicate rods are more presentation-oriented, protect light tippet, and are a better choice for picky fish.
