ECHO Micro Practice Rod
ECHO Micro Practice Rod
- A great casting practice tool. Basically, a mini fly
rod 4' long with line made of yarn that accurately mimics
the action to cast a 5wt / 6wt rod.
At kkflyfisher.com, we have a few Echo MPRs
around for fun and games. But more important, this practice
rod is an effective casting practice tool, particularly
effective in reinforcing the positive stop aspects of
fly casting.
One of the greatest challenges of learning
/ practicing to fly cast is the issue of finding room!
Learning to form a proper cast usually requires significant
space above, behind and in front of you. Additionally,
learning to single-hand spey cast or roll cast is downright
difficult without water.
The new Echo Micro Practice Rod was designed to minimize
the need for space without sacrificing rod action. This
miniature rod comes with everything you need to practice
casting -- the two piece, four foot rod, highly-visible
line, yarn leader and even a small pamphlet on basic casts.
The rod is perfectly balanced with the line and leader
to force you to exaggerate the proper motions required
to form a good cast. When used on a carpeted surface,
you can practice roll casts and single-hand spey casts.
The Micro Practice Rod acts and feels just like a standard
fly rod, so transitioning from the practice rod to a real
rod is simple. All this can be done from the comfort of
your couch!
