Orvis Fly Reel?
Reader Question: Should I Buy An Orvis Fly Reel? What do you think of it?

Answer: Well, that’s sort of a difficult question. I do own a couple of Orvis Fly Fishing Reels and can only speak from personal experience here. I’d say for the money, they are one of the best reels on the market. It has a true spin with great reliability, and my Orvis Battenkill has been extremely durable as well. So yes, I will have to say “thumbs up” and say go for it.
