FS: Echo Ion XL 10' 6/7 wt-Unfished!

9 posts in this topic

I have a new in tube and sock ECHO ION XL rod that I bought on a whim a few years back and have never gotten around to do more than lawn casting it.  ( I have several other rods in his size/lineweight that I fish so this one is redundant.)  This model is the 6100 and is a 10' 6 wt by marking. Truth be told, it seems to cast better with a 7 wt line. ( I had no trouble getting 85' lawn casts out of this rod with an old wf7f 444 sl. A better caster could do better I'm sure) The rod is fast action and light in hand. Good power in the butt section!  It would make an excellent schoolie  /shad rod . These retail for $160, I'll let this one go for $85 + $15 S/H . Or you can pick up in SE MA.

I'll try to get some pictures up shortly but it's new intube (Tube even still has plastic sleave on it!)

Would this work well for schoolie stripers and cocktail blues? Or is it too light?

I have the 9' 6wt Ion XL and it is perfect for light saltwater.  Like the OP said, casts more like a 7wt
