Product Description:
This Orvis Battenkill 1971 reissue bridges seven decades of fly fishing evolution. Each 8' two-piece rod begins with six hand-split Tonkin bamboo culms, steam-curved using original jigs to recreate the legendary progressive action. The taper shines when working size 12 Stimulators through boulder gardens or swinging soft-hackles in tailouts, with enough reserve power to tame 20" wild browns. Period-accurate burgundy agate guides reduce line wear during aggressive mending, while the figured walnut reel seat houses modern large-arbor reels without compromising vintage proportions.
Cold-forged 18% nickel silver ferrules implement modern metallurgy to solve the original's occasional sticking issues, now achieving buttery-smooth engagement even after prolonged use. The balanced design ensures fatigue-free casting sessions, whether executing delicate dry fly presentations or powering streamers through heavy currents. Purists may opt for traditional silk wraps, while modernists can upgrade to composite seat inserts through our heritage workshop program.
