I am looking for a 7' 5 weight. Any suggestions? I can find plenty of 7-1/2', but no 7'. Thanks.

Terry,

Orvis used to make one in the old Superfine series. It was called the Small Stream Special and it was a great little rod. You can still find them on the auction site from time to time.

I have an early WM featherlight 7' 6wt but it will throw anything really. It's glass. Not sure if you would be willing to look at glass rods. There seems to be alot that would fit what you are looking for..Mine is not for sale, but that might be an option for you.

I actually owned the rod deathb4disco mentioned. It was a great rod. I gave it away to a newbie only because that's how I had gotten it, as a handout from a generous member on another board. I had been waving long sticks for a few years when I inquired about said rod and fished it for a few years before reverting back to an 8' 4wt for my go to, which of course has changed a couple of times since. Great rod for the money and a good looking one too.

I have the rod you're looking for.

Orvis Silver Label Full Flex 5.5, 7' 2pc. 5wt. rod in pristine condition in cloth bag with green cordura rod tube. Since I usually use my 8' rod, this 7' rod has rarely been used except on one special small stream to which I am invited once or twice a year. Condition of rod/case is like new. Although this rod has been discontinued, I do have the warrantee card which has not been filled out and sent to Orvis.

I would like $200 for the rod, Paypal or MO, please.

Ron
