Orvis Recon Freshwater Fly Rod

Product Description
$698.00
Maximum quantity available reached.

The Orvis Recon freshwater series carries construction ideas from the Helios line into a USA-made rod with 13 sizes. The range covers small creeks, trout rivers from freestone streams to tailwaters, euro and indicator nymphing with the 10-foot models, and bass and big streamers with the heavier rods.

Who it's for

Anglers who want a made-in-USA rod for daily trout fishing, or a second rod sized for a specific job such as nymphing or bass.

Action and feel

Orvis builds the Recon with Helios-inspired blank construction. A 9-foot 5-weight covers most trout water, while the 10-foot rods add reach for line control and the 8'9" 8- and 11-weight rods step up for bigger flies and fish.
