Orvis Superfine - 3 wts

Orvis Superfine - 3 wts


Description
This rod is a sheer delight to use for ultra-fine fishing. We recommend this rod with a 3-weight floating line, or for more delicate, precise fishing, an intermediate line greased for dry-fly fishing.

Summary:
The Superfine "Tippet" is a pure delight to fish with. It delicately handles #24 - 26 dry flies and larger dries with ease. The soft action presents the fly so lightly that I have had a Rainbow rise to an incoming fly! A fan of dry fly fishing should consider this rod instead of a cane rod because of the guarantee and worry free care. Midge fishing is also in this rods capabilities, although you should not really consider it for nymphing.

Customer Service:
Life time guarantee, including accidental breakage.

Summary:
It's a good rod for small nymphs. Excellent sensitivity when nymphing, very few missed takes or bad hook sets. But the rods is wonderful with dry flies. The rod's only serious drawback is that it does not handle streamers very well.

Summary:
I gave it a 5 value rating because Orvis had a sale and the rod cost me $100. I doubt if I would have bought it at full price.

Customer Service:
good
