Customise Your Shadow 2. Fish It Your Way.
The ECHO Shadow 2 Competition Kit is the upgrade that gives you complete control over the length and balance of your Shadow 2 Euro nymphing rod. Compatible with both the #3 and #4 weight Shadow 2 rods, each kit contains everything you need to fine-tune your outfit to the river, the conditions, and your personal casting style — exactly as competition fly fishers do.
At €109, it is one of the most practical and rewarding upgrades available for any Euro nymphing outfit.

Why Customise Your Euro Nymph Rod?
Competition Euro nymphers have long understood that a rod's length and balance are not fixed — they are variables that can and should be adjusted to suit the river, the beat, and the angler. The two 15cm extensions allow you to add up to 30cm of reach when you need to cover wider water, then remove them when you move to a more intimate beat. The five 10gr counter-weights let you dial in the balance of the rod precisely — shifting weight towards the handle to reduce tip-heaviness, improve feel through the drift, and reduce fatigue across a long day on the river. The fighting butt adds leverage when playing larger fish and contributes to the overall balance of the outfit.
Together, these three components give you a level of customisation that transforms a capable Euro nymphing rod into a genuinely personalised competition-spec outfit — one that fits your casting style, your rivers, and your fishing as precisely as possible.
