Brian ~ Great to see you keying in on some great value , affordable equipment. This is where the real fly fishing market is.
Thanks for watching. We strongly believe that you shouldn’t have to break the bank in order to fly fish.
Thanks Brian - I always feel overwhelmed for the options on fly gear, cant afford very expensive stuff but same time like to spend on good quality reasonable priced gear and videos like this help a lot!
Thanks for watching. Happy to help.
I have an Echo ION reel on my 6 wt. and it’s my favorite reel regardless of price. I particularly like the positive click drag as well as the handle and drag knob ergonomics. The spool to frame dimensions are extremely precise and concentric. A very well designed and manufactured reel. Thanks for presenting the other Echo reel options.
They are some really great options for lesser money. Thanks for being here.
Your honesty convinced me to buy a Bravo for King Salmon slammin'...cheers from Canada
Thanks for watching and thanks for the support.
Love your gear reviews. Looking forward to many more.
Thanks for watching.
I needed this video, thanks!
Thanks for watching and let us know if we can send you one!
Echo make some sweet products. Well priced, good quality that do everything I need as a relatively new fly fisher. I have a Base rod and Ion XL paired with Orvis and Reddington reels but would definitely recommend an Echo reel to anyone.
Thanks for being here!
I just got a base kit a caught my first Michigan steelhead with it. One of the coolest things I’ve ever done!
That's awesome! Thanks for being here and please stay tuned.
I purchase an echo ion 7/9 for my 8weight St Croix mojo bass fly rod, and well I am super happy with it! It was my first fly rod and was very unsure of what to buy. I got recommended that setup to basically cover all the warm water rivers in my area and it has done beautifully! The drag has enough that I can handle big 10+ pound carp with ease!
Thanks for watching.
I got an Echo Base 4/5 over 3 years ago - only ever used in saltwater - and it has handled several eagle rays as well as snapper/bream and NZ kahawai. I wanted it because it is nt metal and doesn't have corrosion/rust problems. Very pleased with its performance!
Thanks for being here!
I’ve purchased several Echo Base reels for rods I’ve built for my grandsons. Love em! We fish mainly trout and I’ve often said for the kind of fishing we do a reel does nothing more than store line. BUT if you need it the drag ain’t bad. If you reverse the retrieve, back the drag off all the way before you start. If it’s tight you will have a bear of a time getting the circlip back on. Loosen the drag and it will go together like butter 🧈🙂 Also, they stand behind their products. The first one I bought sat in the box for over a year waiting for me to finish a fly rod. I finally opened it after the warranty had expired. It had an issue so I contacted the company and explained the situation. They sent me a brand new reel, free of charge, free of shipping charges and told me to keep the defective one. Can’t get any better than that!
Great folks and great products. What could go wrong?
Great video guys ❤️❤️❤️
Thanks for watching.
Looks very very good.
Thanks for watching.
I love your videos and with out your videos I would not be where I am in the world of fly fishing
Thanks so much!!!
i’ve got the Bravo and the Ion. the Ion was my first reel and it’s still running strong.
Nice to hear. Thanks for watching.
I've used the bravo for king salmon for a few years now. Amazing. Just bought two more to go on client rods.
Great reels for the money! Thanks for watching.
I have the echo LT in 5wt. Love it up here in Michigan!
Thanks for watching.
My first Echo product I bought was the lyft kit. I was impressed with the rod, but blown away by the base reel. I fought and landed a tough 24" river rainbow on an 8' 4wt. The drag on the base worked so well, every rod and reel I've bought since has been from Echo. Quality for the price is far better than any other brand I've found.
Thanks for watching. We love Echo products!
@@Madriveroutfitters I watch all your videos. I'm especially gratefull for the product reviews and leader videos!
@@jamesmccreery250 We appreciate you being here.
When I first saw this video pop up I said “ugggh.....this is going to cost me money” 😂
But luckily not too much!!!!
@@Madriveroutfitters thank you so much my pa is learning how to fish your way !
Fly fishing is for rich old men sadly 😔
@@juanito3821 hahaha. I am an 18 year old boy who loves fly fishing. Get out there! Try it! It's worht it
I am looking at the 2/3 Base reel for some tight blue line stuff. I don’t anticipate a lot of false casting and would do more bow and arrow casts or dabbing into pools. Is there a need not noted by me to justify a more premium reel?
Listening to your review it sounds like dropping the composite on the ground or water is probably the only concern but I am fishing for 6” brookies and cutties.
I have a 4WT rig for more open (yet small) waters.
Thanks for watching. Feel free to contact Brian or the folks at the shop with any and all questions. You can e-mail them or call them and they are always happy to help. That's what they do!
What would be a good affordable rod to match for 12 wt? Was considering the badass glass or reddington predator
Please contact the shop directly with that question and they will be happy to help. Thanks.
Salt Bravo....sold!
Might be out of stock at the moment but more on the way. Call the shop if they can help further.
I have the ION reel on my 6 wt. Great reel, beautifully made, nice, smooth drag. 12 month warranty. What else can you ask for?
Covers all bases. Thanks for being here and glad you like it.
Is the bravo lt $119 or $199? The editor put 199 and Brian said 119. Thanks! Great video as always!
$119 is correct. They are fixing the mistake now.
Nice
Thanks for watching.
Which reel would u pair with the streamer x 7wt fly rod? Need some help
Please contact the shop directly and they will be happy to help. Thanks.
I have a dumb question but for the base reel, is there “no clicking” with the retrieve?
Thanks for watching. Please send your questions directly to the shop via e-mail or give them a call. They will be happy to help. We just don't have any intel on that here.
So if you were to put this reel to a head-to-head with the Orvis Clearwater II which one would be better
Which reel? There are 5 featured here.
@@Madriveroutfitters 🤔 well I'm thinking about 6wt reel
I'm sorry if this is a dumb question but what makes a "streamer rod" a streamer rod? How is it different from a rod of the same length a weight that is not considered a streamer rod. Thanks and great work on the videos as always.
Certainly not a dumb question but one that you'll have to send over to the shop and they can answer there. Email or call and they will be happy to help. They don't monitor the comments here as Brian often says. Thanks.
Their rods are good value as well
Very much so! Thanks for watching.
Sir from malaysia how to buy??
On our website!
Kelly went from St Croix to Echo?
Echo all the way!
