| 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,

Hello Mats,
ReplyDeleteBeautiful rod, you put on show. Now, lets see some more posts with a few fish putting a bend in your rod.
Regards
Alan
Hey how, nice photos of a very nice rod. I have 1 cane rod myself, though its not as nice as your Orvis, though its not too bad.
ReplyDeleteA friend of mine gave me a Headwaters Santiam 7' 4wt 2pc 2tip. It doesn't have the legacy & reputation of the Orvis Battenkill, but the headwaters gets the job done.
I'm thinking about rebuilding a basket case over the winter......Phil
Hi Alan!
ReplyDeleteI've completely missed your comment. Sorry for that. For some reason that I don't understand the comments on this blog comes to an e-mail address that I seldom use. Thanks for your comment! I've been too absorbed by the "tiny flies" blog so I've missed out on the others. Will try to improve in this regard.
Best wishes,
Mats Olsson
Hi DRYFLYGUY!
ReplyDeleteJust noticed your comment. Sorry for the delay for which I explained the reason in my response to Alan. Thanks for your comment! I really like split cane rods. As with all natural material it has something that other materials doesn't. Be it to make fly rods or tying flies. It's not the same with synthetic materials. This year I really will give the Battenkill a thorough use. Lets see how it turns out.
Kind regards,
Mats Olsson
