Orvis Battenkill 704

          I guess that I have to start with my own (and only) split cane rod. It's an Orvis Battenkill 704 (7' weight #4 in three pieces with two tips).


All the pieces of this wonderful rod

The three pieces of the rod

Lovely handle with a sliding ring uplock reel holder

Nice fly holder that won't damage full hackled dry flies

Very slim tips makes it a good rod for tiny flies

          A lovely rod made by Orvis. Unfortunately I think it's out of production now. Not found on their web site at least. Finally the first rod presented and I promise there will come more.


Have fun fly fishing with split cane masterpieces,
M.O.
