Designed with the help of UK reservoir experts, these new Western Rods are light in the hand and very responsive. They deliver power and precision from bank and boat, with floating or sinking lines. This rod can handle all floating and sinking lines with ease, and cast a team of flies as far as you need.
Judged by the testers at Trout Fisherman magazine, this rod was considered to be the best of all the new rods on the market today because it was able to work well at both close range, and at distance.
The new Orvis Western rods have a competition-inspired action.
Competition fly rods are required to have a stiff action - which Orvis have called Competition Flex. Competition Flex allows for swift, clean pickups and retrieves, getting the fish back to the boat with certainty, and keeping the fly in the water longer. And in a competition situation, this gives the angler an edge.
9ft 6in #6 3pce & 9ft 6in #7 3pceThis rod is light and powerful for both stillwaters and reservoirs.
10ft 0in #4 3pceThis rod is ultra-light in the hand for all day nymphing. The rod grip is a slender Half Wells, and has an all-cork reel seat with sliding rings to keep the weight as low as possible. The gentle tip helps to detects subtle bites, and the forgiving actions allows you to throw nymphs of all weights the correct distance. Great for New Zealand style and Czech nymphing.
