Item Description

A great fly fishing kit from Orvis! This kit gets a 5-star rating on the Orvis website, but you can't buy it there because it's so popular that is is backordered. But we have the kit, new in box, donated by Orvis for our holiday auction! 

Orvis Encounter Fly Rod Outfit includes the Orvis Encounter Fly Rod, Orvis Encounter Fly Reel, Orvis quality WF floating fly line, Dacron backing, Orvis tapered leader, and Orvis cordura rod tube. Outfit is properly rigged and ready to fish...just tie on a fly!

The Orvis Encounter 905-4 Fly Rod Outfit is the perfect choice for an all-purpose setup for trout and smallmouth bass. Encounter Outfits deliver higher quality than any other value package that you will find. Encounter rods are surprisingly smooth and easy to cast, with a progressive medium-fast action ideal for any angler. The Encounter 5wt will make delicate dry fly presentations up close and at long distances, is a great rod for nymphing, and will throw smaller streamers and bass bugs with power. This is the perfect outfit for newer fly fishers to get started on the right foot with quality equipment.

Orvis Encounter II Fly Reel - 5 WT:  The Orvis Encounter II Fly Reel is attractive, rugged, and most importantly, has a beefy drag system. These reels are constructed to take plenty of abuse and still perform smoothly. Encounter reels feature a large arbor design to retrieve line faster and help keep line memory free. Easily converted to either left or right-hand retrieve, Encounter fly reels have a positive click drag knob for consistent settings every time. Whether you're looking for your first large arbor, fishing on a budget, or want a spare or two in the bag, the new Encounter II Large Arbor can handle anything a machined reel can, and is a great performance value in entry level reels. Orvis Encounter is a perfect choice for an affordable reel with an excellent drag system.

Reel features:

• Attractive, durable composite frame and spool
• Large arbor for fast line retrieval
• Powerful disc drag system
• Easily converted to either left or right-hand retrieve
• Positive click drag knob for consistent settings every time

Orvis WF Floating Fly Line: Orvis WF floating fly lines are built a half-size heavier to provide extra help loading the rod, casting larger flies, and handling the wind. A compact head helps to transfer energy more efficiently, load the rod in close, throw tighter loops, and turn over flies. This is the perfect choice for the newer fly fisher or those anglers that don't mind making casting a little bit easier.
