Orvis Recon – Freshwater Fly Fishing

Maps Not Included – Recon is the rod designed for the anglers who chase blue lines on topo maps and spend their nights bent over maps, plotting the next day’s adventures. For those who manage riverside meals of granola bars and jerky paired with the evening hatch instead of a sit-down meal at a sane hour. For anglers who would rather spend the day in the front of a skiff than behind a desk, we’ve created a rod ready to work as hard as you do in the pursuit of fish. Recon teams high-performance feel with lightness in hand. With close-in loading ability and the power for longer reach, the rods feature a modern shadow green blank and covert black nickel hardware.

Proudly made in the USA by people who love fishing as much as you do.

• Superior High-performance tapers
• Improved, unsanded ferrule design
• Lightest-weight rod in its class
• U.S.-made nylon covered rod tube
