Orvis Fly Reel
Orvis
When I think of fly fishing, the first name that comes to mind is Orvis. This is a recognized name in the fly rod and fly reel world. They are providers of various fly fishing equipment from their line of fishing waders, fly line, fly rods, fly reels, fly tying supplies and pretty much anything related to fly fishing.
Some anglers think that the Orvis Silver Label Fly Rod is the workhorse of the fly fishing world. This is priced in the mid range of their line and is sold in a wide range of weight, length and flex pattern. The silver label series fly rods are high quality and affordable. You can buy the more expensive Trident fly rod but there is more difference in price than variation in the quality and handling.
Orvis offers an unconditional 25 year warranty on this Silver Label Fly Rod. The only reason to buy another fly rod will be to get variety in the weight class. Warning, the Silver Label Fly Rod may be the best freshwater fly rod you ever used. They are very durable and offer great balance and the most popular rod actions. These are fly rods with unequalled sensitivity and touch for the most technical trout angling.
To cast farther into lies no other fly rods can reach, you will need a good combination of fly rod, fly reel and fly line. Some anglers think that the handcrafted bamboo fly rod is the ultimate feel in fly fishing. The new social group of anglers does not necessarily share this opinion. Smart Fly Rod manufacturers follow this trend.
are very respected in the fly fishing industry. The Battenkill Large Arbor fly reel is probably the best value in the high performance large arbor reel on the market. It is versatile enough to reel in the game fish out of the harshest freshwater fishing condition. It offers a fast retrieve and proven drag to help you land the big fish.
