UpCountry has designed what we feel to be the ultimate value Saltwater Fly Fishing Outfit for the novice to intermediate angler. This balanced outfit is set to target Striped Bass and False Albacore and comes completely set up by either Grady or Torrey with two premium Rio In-Touch Intermediate and Sinking Fly Lines. The Saltwater-grade Echo Ion XL series features a remarkably low swing-weight and a forgiving action. The Ion XL is fantastic for Stripers, False albacore, Bonefish, Snook and Redfish. They also double as Salmon rods for the fall runs on the Great Lakes. The included Lamson Liquid Reel comes with an extra spool and is assembled in Boise, Idaho with the same US made drag components found in their more expensive reels
