Product information "Orvis Recon Freshwater Single Handed Fly Rod"
May we introduce: The second generation of the popular Recon rod series from Orvis for freshwater fishing. Here the ambitious fly fisherman will find everything he needs for typical use on streams and rivers. The revised range includes a variety of lightweight rods with a strong backbone to make long casts even in stiff breezes, yet the rods have sufficient sensitivity - ideal for precise presentations in the tightest of spaces. The latest Recon fly rods have been developed on the basis of Orvis' proven Helios3 technologies, making all models even lighter and stronger.
Versatility is the be-all and end-all of Orvis Recon freshwater rods, which are particularly light in the hand and impress with their fast action for all casting styles. The tapers of the lower line classes are designed for fishing with dry flies and nymphs for trout and grayling, while the higher line classes have an extra portion of power and also serve weighted streamers to the other bank with ease. All Recon Freshwater rods are equipped with a matt "Shadow Green" blank and a spacer made from fine burl wood. Slim snake guides, hard-wearing stripping guides and a high-quality nickel reel seat round off the modern finish of the Recon Freshwater fly rods.
Incidentally, the name "Recon" is derived from "recconnaissance", which means "reconnaissance". And this name says it all, because the Recon rods have been developed for anglers who want to know what's around the next bend in the river and who are always drawn to the water by adventure and the search for the next fish.
The latest generation of Recon fly rods is lighter, faster and more precise. It's also stronger and more impact resistant, giving mid-priced buyers access to the best technology Orvis fly rods have to offer.
