The ECHO ION REEL features a hybrid design, combining machined and cast components, and a large arbor for fast retrieval. This versatile reel is perfect for both single-hand and two-hand rods, making it an ideal choice for any angler. While primarily designed for freshwater use, with proper maintenance, it can also be used in saltwater. With six sizes available, there is an Ion reel for every fishing situation. For added balance, consider the optional solid brass drag knob, which is especially useful for longer spey rods.
