Orvis Superfine Glass Fly Rod - 3-Piece for Sale, Reviews, Deals and Guides

I purchased this rod and the #5 and they are both a hoot to cast. So much fun to make those almost effortless motions and watch the line stretch out. Admittedly, I’m an old guy, but I think anyone would enjoy this casual feel when angling.

I own this rod in a 3 thru 5 wt. and it's hands-down the most fun rod I own for fishing dries. It's not going to throw tons of line with ease, but it's great for most streams I fish. The 3 and 4 wt are excellent at presenting dries and the soft, progressive flex allows you to load your rod in tight places. The 5 is a little more versatile and good for windier days. Glass rods make playing fish (even small ones) more fun and they are much harder to break than graphite. Unless pin-point accuracy is a must or you need to get lots of line out, these are way more practical and fun dry-fly rods.

Ever since purchasing this rod I can'€™t think of anything else I rather be doing than tossing a few bugs and a few brews back. The super fine is ideal for small creeks and rivers and close-range casting so perfect for Utah. The accuracy you get is amazing thanks to the supple slow-action taper coupled with a firm butt section makes the Superfine Glass a top-notch dry fly tool, however I think it could reasonably handle casting the extra weight and torque of throwing big dry flies (such as hoppers, Chernobyl ants and big stoneflies) and dry/dropper rigs. I swear I can lay a dry on a dime you feel it just going right where you want it. This rod delivers for sure and provides delicacy and allows you to fight fish with fine tippets. Love at first toss.

These rods are fun to cast, great to fish, helps to protect tippet and is TOUGH AS NAILS!! All made in the USA!! What a treat these rods are, not your grampa's glass rods at all. These cast well, are accurate wonderful in the short distance, but with some backbone to chunk a bigger cast for those afternoon breezes.

The Orvis Superfine is a great fly rod. It proves that glass is not old technology and doesn't have to feel like a wet noodle. This rod in the 3 wt has got backbone and really fights fish well while protecting light tippet. Orvis really made a great rod.

I'm definitely a big fan of this fiberglass rod. It was the first and only glass rod I've ever had, so I didn't really know what to expect. I fell in love with the softness right away, the feeling was completely different than graphite. Its a joy to cast a dry fly but will also huck the meat.
