The Echo Overcast Fly Rod Series was designed by Flip Pallot and built for maximum line speed in freshwater and saltwater conditions.
When Flip Pallot challenged ECHO to answer a simple question- "Who wouldn't want more line speed?"- The OverCast series was born. Designed in collaboration with Tim Rajeff, OverCast fly rods are purpose-built for anglers facing the usual challenges: wind, distance, accuracy demands, and heavier flies.
After extensive testing, the team determined that increased line speed starts with a precisely engineered, longer lever. The result is a 9'3" rod that balances power, control and casting efficiency without compromise. Flip's vision pushed ECHO beyond traditional design limits, prioritizing performance over cost and redefining what a high-end freshwater/saltwater fly rod should be.
Key Features:
* Optimized 9'3" length for increased line speed and control
* 6-10wt range designed for the demands of saltwater angling, so perfectly suited for sweetwater as well
* Matte Black Blank with Red Wraps for a clean, purposeful aesthetic
* Ceracoil Stripper Guides with SIC inserts for durability and reduced friction
* TICN-Coated Snake Guides for further improved line speed
* Flip Pallot Designed Modified Full Wells Grip with exposed upper reel seat
* Custom Reel Seat with Visual Cues for reel feet and integrated hook keeper
* Line-Weight Identification Wraps using a classic, at-a-glance thread system
* Echo Rod Roll: impact resistant, roll-style rod case that can carry up to three rods and meets carry-on requirements
Legacy Design
The Overcast series represents over a year of development and testing, much of it spent in Florida's toughest saltwater conditions. Though Flip passed before final production, his vision, creativity, and passion are fully realized in the Overcast rod series. Flip's Overcast will remain his lasting legacy at Echo and a benchmark for their future rod designs.
The Echo Overcast 993-4 Fly Rod is featured here. 9'3" 9wt 4 piece. A great heavier saltwater rod that doubles as a fantastic big pike and striper rod.
