The Story

Recon® packs high-end performance into a rod made to be thrown in the back of a truck, strapped to a pack, or stowed in a floatplane pontoon. Using construction techniques inspired by our Helios™ series, we developed an incredibly durable rod series that delivers increased hoop strength for enhanced lifting power, pinpoint tracking for long casts, and smooth loading in close.

Recon is built to adapt—whether you’re tucking baitfish patterns up under mangroves or picking pockets in headwater creeks. No unnecessary flair, just relentless go-anywhere versatility, crafted in the USA by anglers who measure success by stories, not likes. Available in 13 new freshwater and six saltwater models.

  • The rugged, go-anywhere performance rod for all freshwater fishing applications
  • Incredible durability that doesn’t compromise castability
  • Black type III anodized aluminum reel seat hardware with hardwood insert
  • Chrome snake guides and stripping guide with SiC insert
  • Matte olive blank with honey accents
  • Nylon-covered rod tube
  • 25-Year Guarantee
  • Made in USA

Orvis 25-Year Guarantee
