  • Matching Orvis Encounter Fly Reel
  • Fly reel loaded with an Orvis floating fly line, backing and tapered leader
  • Supplied in a protective hard rod tube

8ft 6in #5 4pce : is the best all round freshwater rod for trout fishing and it’s the perfect first rod for any fly angler, particularly for those targeting smaller rivers and lakes.

9ft 0in #5 4pce : is the perfect backup rod for an experienced travelling angler, or great for new anglers on smaller lakes and rivers.

9ft 0in #6 4pce : is another great all rounder, well suited to those slightly larger fisheries.

9ft 6in #6 4pce : is a powerful rod with the extra length that's perfect for larger waters and reaching out on long mends or for nymphing. 

9ft 0in #8 4pce : has all the power and performance anyone could ask at a great price. It’s a great backup rod, or a perfect heavier starter outfit for sea trout, small salmon rivers, sea bass or even reservoir trout.
