    Default Orvis Silver Label 7' 5wt rod-2 pc.

    As requested, here are a couple of photos of the rod showing its excellent condition, including the rod case and Orvis blank warrantee.

    The rod in that link you sent him is a 1970's rod, from the website's description and looks well used. The Orvis rod I'm offering, while the same length and weight, is like new, was purchased from Orvis in the early 2000's and comes with a 25 yr. warrantee card, not filled out. It just depends on whether he's looking for a "classic" or something with less wear with a guarantee.

    I ended up buying both thinking the actions would be different. As far as I can tell, other than cosmetics, the rods are the same. I am going to keep the silver label and hopefully sell the older one. Thanks guys.
