The New Orvis Clearwater 5-Weight 10'0" Fly Rod is the ideal all purpose trout and smallmouth bass rod when fishing larger rivers, open water, and from a boat - when increased distance is often needed. The longer 10'0" length also improves mending and high sticking ability, while delivering ample power to throw small streamers and tandem rigs. The Orvis Clearwater provides the smooth power and precision of a higher priced premium rod. When longer casts and smooth power are required, the medium-action Clearwater 105-4 answers with all the performance, casting pleasure, and feel you would expect from an Orvis designed rod.
The new Clearwater Rod Series is not just a cosmetic facelift, but a complete overhaul from the ground up by Orvis's Vermont rod designers. Everything has changed except the value. It's still the best fly rod you can buy for the money, but with a significant upgrade in performance and looks in a comprehensive series that covers every angler from small stream addicts to Skagit slinging two-handers. Each rod was designed with a purpose-built taper and action to handle the specific fishing situations that each rod model is designed for. The action of the Clearwater rods progress from from medium-action small stream rods to medium-fast freshwater rods and continue up to fast-action big game rods.

Purchased this rod for several reasons. I have owned 2 other Orvis rods, both of which I loved. Was looking for a 10 ft rod for boat fishing and throwing longer casts on rivers. I love fishing wet flies but stumbled a bit throwing 2 and 3 fly rigs with my 9 footer. I just received this rod two days ago and put it to the test. Not only was I able to throw 70' casts with ease and on target but it handled the dropper and tag flies with aplomb. The extra foot really makes a difference tracking down through runs, helping me keep the fly action more natural with far less drag. It only took a few casts to get used to the stiffer, fast action. Thanks Orvis and Thanks Reelflyrod. Two great companies.

This rod yesterday, and I just had to try it out this morning - BOY AM I IMPRESSED (said a SAGE Guy) !!! Lightweight handling, great action on this blank and casts like you're throwing darts ! The extra foot on this rod handles bigger water and wind with ease. With a 25 year warranty Orvis has hit this one out of the park !!! I've fast become an Orvis fan and give this rod 5 STARS !!!
