2019 ORVIS CLEARWATER 117-4 SWITCH FLY ROD : 11'0" 7WT
The new Clearwater Rod Series is not just a cosmetic facelift, but a complete overhaul from the ground up by our 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 profile and action to handle the kind of fishing the rod model would be traditionally used for, from medium-action small stream rods to medium-fast freshwater rods and fast-action big game rods.
The New 2019 Orrvis Clearwater 117-4 Switch Fly Rod is made to swing flies for steelhead, turn over indicator rigs, provide incredible line control and mending ability, and cover big water with ease. The versatile Clearwater 117-4 excels at overhead casting to stripers and other saltwater species, and launching big bass bugs. Then switch to a two-handed technique in tight quarters or swing flies on long runs. The Clearwater 117-4 is the perfect introduction to learn two-handed casting and performs equally well using a variety of casting styles.
