billytheghillie Posted September 4 Report Share Posted September 4 They look OK, Loop had a similar kit which i bought and was OK with it until i dropped the reel which shattered into a hundred bits as it was only die-cast. Looks like the Orvis reel is die-cast as well for that price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you I’ve been hearing mixed reports regarding them I do use a orvis Clearwater 5 weight for light trout fishing The other combo I’m thinking off is the greys KS plus series Can’t justify buying a hardy 😊 On 07/09/2023 at 08:29, oldypigeonpopper said: Hello, no experience with that rod combo but my son's orvis rods are nice to fish with and Orvis due have a good warranty, 👍👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
