Slow Down - a bit. Feel Everything.
The ECHO BAG Quickshot 8'0" #5 Fly Rod is a love letter to the art of fly fishing. Built from fibreglass, it brings back the deep, progressive flex and satisfying feel that modern carbon rods simply can't replicate — and the Quickshot taper makes it one of the most responsive glass rods available at any price point.
At just 119g, it's featherlight in the hand, yet it loads with authority on short casts and delivers flies with a delicacy that trout find hard to refuse.

Why Fish Glass?
Fibreglass rods have enjoyed a well-deserved renaissance among discerning fly fishers who value feel over speed. The slower action gives you more time to sense the load, more forgiveness on the delivery, and a connection to the cast that carbon simply doesn't offer. For dry fly fishing on streams and rivers, for nymphing in close quarters, or for anyone who wants to slow down and truly enjoy the process — glass is the answer.
If you've been asking "what's the best fibreglass fly rod for trout fishing?" — the ECHO BAG Quickshot is consistently one of the most recommended glass rods on the market.
The Quickshot Advantage
The Quickshot taper is ECHO's solution to one of glass fishing's traditional limitations: the need to carry more line to load the rod. The BAG QS loads efficiently at shorter distances, making it ideal for tight river fishing where a quick, accurate presentation is everything.
