The Orvis Recon is my personal holy grail of rods. In hand, the rod is light and comfortable, pairing well with a light reel to create an outfit that can be brought anywhere. It casts accurately and smoothly making tricky fly presentations easy. When the cast is awarded with a bite, it has good backbone for fighting the fish that it hooks in to. This rod is for those who have tried fly fishing and maybe been using a cheaper setup but are loving the experience and want to upgrade to the real deal. The rod has many configuration options and comes with a beautiful wooden handle that stands out from others. If I had to fish with one rod across the board, I would choose the Orvis Recon.
- Smooth and easy casting
- Extremely lightweight and comfortable in the hand
- Great sensitivity for a variety of techniques
- Cork handle can slowly chip away
