This Recon 4-piece fly rod reminds us there was a time when the best-selling rod configuration was the 8’6″ 5-weight. The Orvis Henry’s Fork was an icon in fly fishing for years. For all-around freshwater versatility in waters big or small, on the surface or under it, the Recon 865-4 continues the legacy of this length and line-weight configuration. If you are looking for one freshwater rod that can adapt to almost every situation, this is the rod for you. With the latest in design and construction technology, and at a remarkable mid-price point, the Recon 865-4 is a must-have for any angler who appreciates great fly rod performance. Helios™ 3 is the benefactor behind the new Recon, utilizing its construction techniques and performance attributes to refine and improve the new series. Increased hoop strength, better tracking, improved damping, and ultimately, significantly improved accuracy are now incorporated into the Recon that is also stronger, more impact resistant, and offers the mid-price buyer access to the best technology Orvis fly rods have to offer.
Rod Outfits include: Rod, Reel, Line, appropriate size and amount of colored, Dacron Backing all spooled up, ready to go and with a rod tube and rod bag and reel case. The reel will be spooled up Left-Hand Retrieve, unless you specify right-hand retrieve in the Notes at check out. Also to let us know in the Notes section of any fly line choices if that’s an option.

Shop Staff Notes: The Orvis Recon 8’6″ 5-weight Fly Rod is the quintessential trout rod. The Recon performs like many rods twice it’s price (except the Helios 3F 865-4 of course!). If you have one fly rod to pick and $498 is in your budget or maybe just above your budget, than save money on the reel (maybe get a Clearwater Large Arbor or Battenkill Disc instead of a Hydros or Mirage LT) and get this rod! This is a perfect rod for dry flies, for nymph fishing and for pitching streamers. Fishing from a boat, wade fishing or kick boat, this is a versatile rod. Grab your topo map and go explore some blue lines!
