Great stuff...thanks.

Why is this video not at the top of my search!! Exactly the kind of quick review I was looking for!!

Neat!

Im glad its not near me id be more broke than I already am

Love it!

Isn’t this a copy of the Oros?

Which fly line is best for that rod Tim?

I bought the Echo Bravo LT 6/7 and it was a complete disappointment. First time on the water my spoil fell off after I had it secured onto the reel. It won’t stay attached no matter what I’ve done. Really sad about the quality because I was very excited about the reel. Hopefully I got the only bad lemon.

Worst reel I’ve ever bought. Broke the first time I used it fishing.

Great stuff! I just ordered bunch. :)

COOL

Hey Tim, ... Jason here… Bay View Hardware and Hugh Jr. if you don't remember. Lol 🙃 anyway, .., I bought a few of your ECHO rods..have enjoyed them... But they do snap… the TR Spey 13’6”…. First cast at our famous casting pools... Tip section Snaps... with clean break… The boost salt… the same thing happened… I've replaced the tip on the 13’6” 8wt. TR Spey but not yet on the Salt Boost 11wt. This all happened at the casting pools. Hawaiian Harry tried my Boost Salt and said it was like a broomstick… I do pretty well and am content with it...I’m guessing these guys like light setups..?

Thank you! 👍👍👌

Great instructions! Thanks a lot! 👍👍👌

That’s great information and explanation! Thanks a lot! 👍👍👌

That’s really good advice. Thank you

Thank you for the refesher course I had lost this over time. My dad taught me years ago to fly fish. That was part of his lessons. Also, gently aim with your thumb.

Great tips , thanks for sharing

How does this compare to the Shadow X of the same weight and size?

I hate breaking rods when snagging trout on redds

I purchased an Echo Bravo LT reel for striped bass fishing, and my experience has been disappointing. The reel broke on the first day of my trip while fighting a fish - the spool detached from the cage. I had to wait 8 weeks and pay $30-40 CAD to get a replacement spool through Echo's warranty. I didn't use the reel for rest of season. Fast forward a year, and the same issue happened on another fishing trip. Echo wants me to ship the reel again... 2 of my trips were ruined and I need to pay again for shipping. Despite my attempts, Echo's customer service has been slow. This reel is not reliable, and the warranty support is subpar. I've been fishing for over 20 years and been very good with my gear. Only broke this reel and one Loop rod. Loop replaced the rod no question asked and had it in my hands less than a week later. Save your money and avoid the Echo Bravo LT reel.

Hey Tim, I hope you are good!

Hey

Very helpful 😎👍🏻

This rod is a complete noodle and I am curious how it is supposed to be designed for overhead casting. It can’t even stop the backcast without buckling. 8 wt over lined with an 8 wt shooting head

Thank you

More of this kind of content Tim!! Moar!! ! ! ! M O A R ! ! !

Thank you, is it possible to cast streamers with fiberglass rods, for example if the rod is # 5 weight? And to make roll cast and spey cast?

I would like to visit that fly shop!

Fly Fishing Specialties is a great store, they're legit. Good inventory and selection and the staff knows their stuff. You picked the right fly shop to highlight

Started working on that for 5 wt. distance practice / not so easy . I want to get your small practice rod I really think that would help. Thanks for sharing it’s really helpful , your videos are much appreciated.

Really good demonstration and advice! I reinforced this concept when I learned two-handed casting, where it helps to do a slow vertical rod lift to get the line moving upstream to start a cast. 😊

How can i get clutch bearing fos bravo lt 8wt

Don’t know why your videos don’t have more views

I love you Tim!!!!!! Greatest gift from me!!!!! Awesome!!!!!!!!

Line pairings? Ive never fished one of your rods, but ive been hearing alot of great things. Im looking for a 4wt, dry fly rod and this just might fit the bill.

Oooh

I was in the regular back cast camp until now, will definitely try this out. Cool!

Nice rod

Does the rod really come with a set of steak knives and a juicer like it says it does in the description? 😂

My son and I both have the Echo Shadow II rods and they have been amazing for us. We fish smaller, pressured streams in the eastern US and euro nymphing has been a game changer for us. We catch way more trout than we did in the same streams we fished before. The Shadow II is very sensitive and our rods allow us to feel many more strikes that I’m sure we would have missed with our other standard 9’ 5 wt. fly rods.

Awesome Reel✌🏻

I have the Shadow II 10. 3wt since 4 years including the competition kit and it is my go rod, doing nymphing with euroline and dry fly and streamer fishing using a wf4f line. It is a great rod mid price but with but with a fantastic performance! Ciao

A bit of an adjustment to use a nymphing rod for dry fly but it works. I have used one of my nymphing rods a lot for dry fly fishing. Love my Echo rods.

love my echo rods! hello from the other Vancouver! just got a Echo TR #8 spey from poppy. caught 2 20" dollies on it. what a great casting rod. look forward to getting a small stream rod from you guys!

As someone who fishes striper/blues on the east coast, the 9wt version is a great starter/back up rod imo. Slightly underpowered, making it good for back bays and calm surf. If I really need to punch through with larger flies, it simply doesn't stack up to my Beulah Opal 9/10. Not knocking this rod at all, especially at its price point. It's just that you will soon be looking to upgrade to a Beulah or Thomas & Thomas if you want to pursue TH surf fishing in the northeast.

A conventional angler's (with a multiplier) smart thumb = fly caster's smart hand?

tryed this in front room..only problem..i have 2 cats....lol...but i will practice this... with out my cats,, thanks for the video

serviced my Bravo, cone is not seating flat on frame, all washers are put back together properly and snug the screw top to re assemble drag system to reel body but it has a millimeter or so of play. Fix?

There's an old Jimmy Buffet song lyric that goes, "Like the jitterbug, it plumb evaded me." That was the double haul for me in the beginning. Don't get desperate. One day it will just fall into place. Like Tim says in the beginning, it's not an intellectual thing. Very nice tutorial - I like the baseball analogy. Thumbs up.
