Rated 5 out of 5Â by AwoodATL Great quality for the money!!
I had recently started fly fishing enough to warrant the purchase of a higher priced 4 pc rod. I have a Reddington 5wt 9ft and a TFO signature II 4 wt 8ft. The TFO was a little too mid, slower flex than I liked, with the Reddington a fast rod, heavier and a 5 weight line was a little too much for the hooch in the areas I fish. I was looking for a rod that was the same length (9ft) as this works best for me on either a drift boat or wading. I had bought the TFO pro II first because it was 50$ cheaper but after casting this clearwater, it's much smoother and the fit and finish is much nicer. I exchanged the TFO for the 9 ft 4wt clearwater and couldn't be happier. It's a little more tip flex than the TFO, but still very accurate and delicate. For my casting tempo, this rod better suits my cast, and it is very light compared to most rods in this price range. It got picked as the sleeper rod of the season by a popular fly fishing magazine. I would say that orvis has produced a rod with qualities you only see on a much more expensive rod at a price I can live with... And the 25 year warranty is pretty much lifetime, I think I'll have upgraded in the next 25 years.
