Orvis Clearwater 6pc Travel Rod

The Orvis Clearwater Travel rods are a great addition to the Clearwater series of fly-rods.

As part of the all new Clearwater series these rods have improved both technically and aesthetically while decreasing the price once again. The new Clearwater reaps the rewards of Orvis flag ship models.

During the development of the Helios 2, Helios 3 and Recon series the Orvis Company learned a lot about fly rod design and they have implemented their latest accomplishments in their Clearwater rods. Every Clearwater rod now comes with a dedicated taper and action matching the line class and typical fishing scenario covered with the rod. The #5/6 weight models come with a faster action to deliver dries at long range on larger waters and under windy condition. Whereas the heavier models have plenty of power and stiffness to them in order to generate high line speeds and cast weighted flies against the wind. Due to the improved materials and procedures applied the new Clearwater Travel is also 10-15% stronger than its predecessor and shows a noticeable reduction in swing weight as well as an improved balance.

All Clearwater Travel rods come with quality cork handles which not only improve the aesthetics but also the durability of the rods – rubber cork caps on the fighting-butt models further improve the durability. The large print above the handle makes the Clearwater blend in with the remaining Orvis family and adds to the modern look like the Helios 3.

The Orvis Clearwater Travel fly-rod has great performance, design and value for money. The six piece travel rods are the perfect choice for hikers or fisherman traveling by plane.
