Excellent Rod
Used it for the first time last weekend and couldn't have been happier with it's performance. Lightweight and excellent casting. I'll probably be picking up a 6wt here soon.

Excellent lightweight reservoir rod
I am moving over to lighter-weight rods never having got on with 7/8 weights. I bought this for use on reservoirs and find that I can cast all day without tiring. I can chuck line to 25m and present flies delicately.

I bought this for my teenage son, and he will never bait cast again. Great looks, great feel.

Great Rod. Great Price
I have taken this out a few times and have loved it! Casting is nice and smooth with the outfit I purchased.
On another note Orvis has amazing shipping and customer service. Will definitely purchase all my fly fishing stuff through these guys.

I've had this rod about 5 weeks used it 10 times and caught rainbows from 2 to 6 pounds and has handled great casting is a joy I'm new to fly fishing but not to fishing so I no a good quality rod and for the money it is a great bit of kit I bought as a combo and it's good value Orvis staff were really helpful and the 25 year garuntee is amazing can't wait to make more purchases from Orvis

Great Warranty! No problems on first impression.
Beginner to fly fishing. I have used the 9; 5wt on two trips now. once to a wide open river and once to a small mountain stream. Had a blast both times and will continue to fly fish. Great beginner rod, great guarantee.

Great For Beginners!
Got this rod about a month ago and just went out this weekend in OK. I was extremely impressed on how effortless casting was, and how sensitive the rod was. I am extremely happy with this purchase and will continue to purchase Orvis In the future!
