“Who wouldn’t want more line speed?”
That question from Flip Pallot sparked the design of a rod built to meet the realities of saltwater fishing including wind, long casts, heavy flies, and the need for accuracy under pressure. In the hands of a skilled angler, increased line speed overcomes many of these challenges. The solution is a longer lever, refined carefully to maintain balance, recovery, and
control.
After months of prototyping and testing, Tim and Flip landed on the ideal length of 9’3”. Available in 6 through 10 weights, every Overcast rod is designed to maximize line speed while preserving feel and precision.
Tim and Flip spent nearly a year bringing the Overcast from vision to reality. Final component updates had just been completed when Flip was tragically taken from us. More than a collaborator, he was a friend and an inspiration. The Overcast stands as his legacy at Echo, a rod built without compromise and designed to elevate the angler holding it.
The Overcast series is available now at a fly shop near you.

From Tim Rajeff, “It will be hard to process the loss of our friend Flip. He entered our lives through his passion for wild things and allowed us to share his view of the world from behind his bow and rod. A gentle apex predator has left us. Let’s all take a moment to tip our hats and glasses to an extraordinary man.....bye for now.”

Sometimes the best fishing isn’t just off the beaten path, it’s MILES beyond it. Good thing your ECHO rod doesn’t mind the hike.
