Orvis has really stepped up their game the last few years.

This year Orvis is introducing some cool specialty rods including new fiberglass and super cool 7’11” Recon. The 7/11 is amazingly powerful and capable of easily making laser tight loops, due to its shorter length. This is a great rod for bass anglers and snook fishermen. I’ll be testing it out on golden dorado in Argentina.

There’s also a new Hydros reel. This great looking reel is more than a cosmetic make-over of the old Hydros. It features tighter tolerances and a better drag system as well as a stronger outer rim and lighter frame.

Check out this video for all the details on new fly rods and reels from Orvis.
