Orvis Clearwater Fly Rod & Reel Outfit | CLEARWATER 865-4 OUTFIT

The Orvis Clearwater Fly Rod & Reel Outfit comprises one of the most popular and best-performing rods and reels for the money. Orvis' Vermont rod designers advance the venerable Clearwater rod series, designed with a purpose. They built profiles and actions for traditional use: medium-action rods for small streams; medium-fast freshwater rods; fast-action big game rods. These are actions to handle small trout, large trout, and light bass. Yet, there's even a 10-ft. 3 wt. Euro fly rod outfit lightweight and sturdy with sensitive action that accurately casts nymphs, dries, and small streamers set at a price point to compete with higher-priced Euro nymphing rods. The Clearwater boxed outfits, of course, include Clearwater Large Arbor Reels. These die-cast reels, in a stealthy matte-gray powder-coat finish, are workhorses, still known as one of the best performance-to-value reels. With a solid positive click drag knob for consistent settings every time and a disc drag system, Clearwater Reels hold their own against high-performance machined reels. Clearwater Fly Line adorns all outfits with the exception of the nymphing rod, which spools a Tactical Nymph Line. The Clearwater fly combo is often noted as an entry-level or starter fly fishing rod and reel, but don't let those designations deter you. Experienced fly anglers own and use this Orvis rod and reel combo because it allowed them to grow into the sport and has the right properties to warrant continued use. The Clearwater covers every angler, perfect if you're just dipping your toes into the fly fishing water or have already cast a line or two. Hands down, an Orvis Clearwater Fly Rod & Reel Outfit is one of the best fly outfits one can buy for the money.
