i too love the model it broke after a day outing fishing in a small river with 2.5lb+ fish! the river is covered with trees and i wasnt taking enough care needless to say by 3pm it was broken. Need something in the mean time before the rivers close for winter.


The rod will mainly be used for dries and occasionally i might use a nymph, only be used for small to med size streams. Just need a recommendation on if the 6'6" orvis superfine is good or should i go 7'7".
