Rods Orvis

Fiberglass fly rods have made a comeback, and the Orvis Superfine Glass Fly Rod has that old-school look with a noticeably lighter swing weight than grandpa's fly rods. Lighter than traditional glass, the Superfine series is built with S-2 fiberglass for deeply loaded action and smooth, slow casting. Line weights 5 and down include a burled hardwood reelseat, with line weights 6 and above coming saltwater-ready in matte black anodized aluminum. Newly re-designed, it's a nice choice for those of us who want to slow down the pace and appreciate the added flex, fun, and durability of glass over graphite.

Being the workhorse in the Orvis lineup, the Recon is a do-it-all fly rod that excels in a variety of conditions—regardless of what species of fish you’re targeting. From bass to trout, the Recon delivers with the improved accuracy and damping of an Orvis fly rod. In fact, much of what Orvis learned making the Helios 3 was incorporated in the construction of the Recon, bringing increased performance and strength to a mid-priced rod.

The Clearwater Fly Rod Outfit is an Orvis best-selling package that gets us out to the lake right when we open the box. It includes a rod, reel, rod tube, and fly line with backing for everything you need minus some waders. The Orvis Clearwater Outfit is suitable for every type of angling, and every rod on this page has a fast action for big game.

You never know when you’ll get a few hours to fish some nearby water, so be sure to keep the Orvis Clearwater 6-piece Fly Rod close at hand. This travel-friendly rod is a great option for more experienced anglers who frequently travel or beginners seeking a compact, versatile fly rod they can take backpacking or hone their skills with on local rivers. Its medium-fast action gives the rod a moderately fast casting tempo that will get the job done whether you’re casting delicate dry fly patterns or large streamers—depending on the weight you select, of course.
