The ECHO Ion reels are the best reel we've ever seen in the sub $100 category. They're made from what we call a "hybrid" design, cast in aluminum and then machined to provide the benefits of a machined bar stock reel without the high price associated with "fully" machined reels. All Ion reels are then coated with an impact-resistant, matte black finish to provide the best-looking, longest-lasting finish. Six sizes to fit any rod, starting with the 2/3 and finishing with the 10/12, which will hold the largest single-hand or two-handed lines with plenty of backing. ECHO Ion reels have stainless steel internal components and are primarily designed for fresh water use.

OVERVIEW
Pete Field - Guide Pick:
Paired with an Echo two-hand or switch rod, the Echo Reel makes a lot of sense for anglers who want a second setup ready to fish at all times. Matched with the right line, it gives you a practical steelhead outfit for deeper runs, changing light, or making another pass without stopping to swap tips or heads. For Pete, that kind of ready-to-go setup is part of the value.
