Pete Erickson is one of North America's most well known competition anglers. His mastery of European Nymphing has helped him to achieve strong individual finishes at several past World Fly fishing Championships. His guidance led the Echo rod design team to create a rod series that is light, well balanced, and delivers superb tracking for accuracy. The Shadow PE Series nymphing rods have enough butt power to lob heavy anchor flies accurately while also allowing a precise tip flex to stay connected to more fish than any other nymph rod on the market. All Shadow Series rods offer subtle blank colors, and reduced rod flash for stealthy fishing approaches.
