Saltwater-grade rods in this price category are usually better utilised as a coat hanger than a fishing tool. The ECHO ION XL series does not fit that mould. Featuring a remarkably low swing-weight and a more forgiving action, the ION XL is equally at home stripping a flashabou Christmas tree for pike as it is dropping a crab to a tailing permit.
All models have salt corrosion-resistant components.
