Following a blueprint given to us by streamer innovator Kelly Galloup, we have developed the next generation of performance streamer rods.
These new rods are designed to hit a coffee cup at 50 feet with a fly bigger than the cup. Every inch of these rods has been reverse-engineered to quickly load and deliver a fly with a minimum number of false casts. With its fast tip and powerful bottom section, they are uniquely tapered to deliver heavy payloads.
With Kelly’s custom handle shape, powerful bottom section and fast loading top section, this rod is build top to bottom for big flies and accuracy. If current conditions call for smaller flies, it will continue to surprise you with its versatility!
The words for Kelly Galloup himself:
"When I asked Tim Rajeff to build the new Echo Streamer X I told him that I wanted a rod close to the Bank Robber I did with St. Croix, but with some slight modifications. First I needed a little fast tip for animating the fly and to help set the hook. Second I wanted the mid section to be a little softer and a little further down the rod — The ability of the mid section to flex opens your loop for you, as the last thing you want is to carry a tight loop when you’re throwing a 7 inch fly and a sinking line. Third I wanted a little faster butt section — This is where the rod needs to work for you, as the bottom end is what you count on to set the hook and fight the fish. Tim accomplished all of this with the added bonus of making the rod even lighter. It’s a win-win and I couldn’t be happier about the new Echo Streamer X."

When Canada Post lost my package, the guys at Drift Outfitters honored the sale and sent me a new order the next day. It's nice to deal with a company that has great customer service.
Drift is my go to spot for all my fly fishing needs. Super friendly and helpful staff that always steer you in the right direction. Super fast shipping and great prices too.
Best fly shop around! Great group of people and they have the best selection of gear! All the staff are super friendly and knowledgeable and they do tons of awesome stuff for the community. This shop is a great resource for all anglers in southern Ontario. 10/10 will shop again
Always get good service from the guys at the shop especially Chris…he is a pro….inventory is the best I have seen I. Any speciality fly shop which is rare in a single fly shop…support Canadian business /highly recommend
Dope fly shop, crazy selection of flies including big topwater bass flies of all sorts, and big pike flies which are pretty hard to find in person. Chill staff, loads of inventory. I make a point to stop here every time I'm in Toronto!
This is the best fly fishing store I have frequented in my 30 year fly fishing experience. The owner Rob, store manager Chris and the rest of the team are very knowledgeable about products and local fly fishing locations. They will guide you towards best products for your needs, and will not try to upsell if a lower priced option is better for you...
If you are in the GTA Drift is the only fly shop you need. They have an insane amount of quality tying products, packs, waders, boots, rods and reels. They also have the best staff w/ a staggering knowledge base.
