• Description*

This meticulously crafted Orvis Battenkill Deluxe tribute fly rod embodies the perfect marriage of performance and portability in a 6'7" package. Constructed from six precision-matched Tonkin bamboo splines undergoing 72-hour thermal stabilization, each section maintains straightness within 0.003" tolerance.

The progressive taper initiates with a 0.075" sensitive tip, gradually transitioning to 0.18" over the first 40" for presenting size #20 dry flies. The final 35" rapidly builds to 0.271" diameter, creating reliable backbone to handle 3-5lb stream-born brown trout. Mirror-polished 18% nickel silver ferrules ensure zero energy loss between sections.

Specially tuned moderate-fast action excels in confined waterways, delivering accurate cross-current presentations and precise fish fighting in logjam environments.
