I was skeptical about a dedicated streamer rod until you and Kelly explained the Streamer X. Everything you guys said makes perfect sense and a new reason to buy another fly rod!
Truly an exceptional, "specialized" tool. Thanks for watching.
Thanks for the positive input. I work the warehouse at Echo. Sell alot of these, and about to grab one for myself
Thanks for being here.
I just finished reading Modern Streamers for Trophy Trout I. It was a fantastic read for someone like me who has been throwing nothing but drys and droppers for the last 15 years. Streamer fishing is going to be a big part of my fly fishing future as I travel across Wyoming in search of trophy trout. The streamer x rod is definitely on my radar and hope to get one soon. I love everything that Galloup and MRO do and the countless hours of information they provide! Thanks!
Thanks for watching and always happy to help.
Great video!
Thanks for watching!
Had john for a guide a few years back and learned a ton from a streamer legend. Surprised u got him in front of the lense though. Great review on the X
Thanks for watching.
Looks like you had Johnny for a guide. The best!
Johnny? Not sure.
@@Madriveroutfitters haha
I'll always stand by echo, always get a little more than what you pay for. Ive never gotten anything bad from echo
We agree! Great company.
Thanks for the review. Got any carp on it? Would a 7wt be a good carp/steelhead option?
Thanks for watching. Please send your questions over to the shop and they will be happy to help/answer. Can e-mail or give them a call.
What reel are you using on that rod? Looks pretty light and compact!
Edit: I just realized it was an Able reel… anything you recommend that’s a bit cheaper…? Lol
Thanks for watching. Feel free to call or e-mail the shop and they will be happy to help. In the meantime, here is a list of the reels that the shop recommends:

Curious if the main theme song that you allvuse is one of Brian's, or if it is him playing? Love the song.
Thanks for checking but it is not.
Could we see brian go over the differences between the streamer x, sage payload, and tfo axiom 2 x? All 3 are marketed as rods to throw bigger streamers, and I'd like to hear the comparison from an experienced streamer angler.
Best to send that request to him directly via email. Thanks.
thinking about this setup for the salt. I usually throw an older orvis 8wt and sometimes it's just too big. This would be for the east coast from the Keys up to New Jersey. Does anyone have an recommendations for a setup? I'm thinking 6wt for the schoolie bass and some snook/reds...
Sure! Please contact the shop via phone or e-mail and they will be happy to help. Thanks.
Bass fishing too.
Pretty decent bass rod as well! Yes. Thanks for watching.
I have been eyeballing this rod for a while. I read somewhere that Kelly uses a 6wt for trout streamer fishing. I bought a lower end 6wt for the mad and I'm not real happy with it, I can't fish well with anything much bigger than a wooly bugger or a very small clouser..... I caught my first mad river brown on that 6wt with a white bead head bugger on a sink tip.....but I usually use my 8wt on the mad for throwing galloups streamers when I have the flows that invite the approach. For the galloup streamers we know and love, the ones you sell in the shop, is a 7wt necessary, or will the 6wt version of this rod get the job done?
Best to call the shop with questions like that but we CAN tell you that Brian and Kelly both seem to favor the 7wt. Thanks for watching.
The fighting butt is such a big help to me, but I never use streamers solely for trout single hand. I’m considering this rod for bass, pike, and so on. I like the butt. Not sure how I’ll feel without it.
Thanks for watching and feel free to call the shop with any questions or to chat. They are always happy to help.
Loomis swim fly for bass and pike. Stellar rods and purpose built.
@@jonc.5310 I just don’t like Loomis, haha.
I use a lot of Echo, Orvis, and Waterworks-Lamson rods.
@@DylanWOWilliams you've used the Loomis swim fly? I've got the 7 and 8 and really love the 8, like the 7 well enough.
Also meant to say bass and pike in the first comment... said trout on accident.
what is the best grain weight for the 7wt streamer x? weight for both sink tip and full sink?
Thanks for watching. Feel free to email or call the folks at the shop and they will be happy to help. That’s what they do! (They do not monitor the comments here).
i wish i could find a echo 3 on the market, i want to get into steelhead fishing so bad but don’t know any other good rods for it
Give a call to the shop and they can help!
Here is a good place to start though:

For me a streamer rod is not a niche rod. In fact it´s pretty standard to me. I´m using Sage Payload, Winston Alpha Plus and T&T Exocett SS rods. Day and night different compared to standard rods. Throwing sinking lines and big streamers is so much easier.
There is a good reason that companies design certain rods.
How do you like that Payload and Alpha +, or the T&T. I'm looking for a 6WT Streamer Rod, those are on my radar...
What reel would you pair with this rod?
That's a great question for the shop. Give them a call or send an e-mail and they will be happy to help. Thanks!!!
Why use the streamer max long as opposed to the short
Please contact the shop directly via email or phone with your questions and they will be happy to help! Thanks.
Which sinking line does Kelly pair with this rod?

Pls can you sugest me a fly fishing brand for sea water pls
Please contact the shop via phone or e-mail and they will be happy to help. That's what they do!!!
@@Madriveroutfitters ok thx you so much keeep it upp from Mauritius island
@@nivenniven9108 As long as folks keep supporting the shop, we’ll keep making videos. Thanks!!
The 8wt 9' rod comes in at 4.5 oz and your saying its a light rod. I'm using a 8wt 9'6" Sage XP @ 4-1/16 oz with a fighting butt. What weight would you classify as a heavy 8wt 9' rod? Thanks. Oh and I totally agree about not needing the fighting butt for trout but I can't bring myself to cut it off.
They didn't say it was a light rod per se...a bit out of context there. They said it was lighter than the Bank Robbers that were made by St. Croix. Thanks and feel free to call the shop if you have any further questions.
@@Madriveroutfitters Fair enough Galloup says its considerably lighter that his other rods. Some rods get a little on the heavy side and that can sometiimes be related to price. I see a Sage X is 3-3/8 oz but twice the price. Thanks for the help.
I really wish they would have made a 10' 7wt!😢
We’ll then it wouldn’t be a streamer rod! Thanks for watching.
They do make one: www.madriveroutfitters.com/p-18352-echo-indicator-7100-4-fly-rod.aspx
First three secs … lol takes me 15-20 before I can even see the fly myself 🤣🤣🤣🙈🤦🏻♂️
Line control is key!
So that’s Johnny, he is twice the size and half the age I thought he would be.
Stay tuned! Much more to come with the "most famous Johnny you have never seen". He's great on camera actually.
Why isn’t there a 9wt or even 10Wt rods in this lineup ? Big articulated flies for pike and musky I dare to throw with a 8WT. 😅🤷🏻♂️
These were designed as “trout rods”? There are better rods for pike and musky- www.madriveroutfitters.com/c-777-echo-musky-fly-rods.aspx
hi Bryan
Thanks for watching.
Is the 8wt make for a good silver/coho salmon rod?
Please call or email the shop and they will be happy to help/answer. Thanks.
As if one need’s a reason
Just here to help......thanks for watching.
First 🏅
Thanks for being here.
