Description
Recon® packs high-end performance into a rod made to be thrown in the back of a truck, strapped to a pack, or stowed in a floatplane pontoon. Using construction techniques inspired by our Helios™ series, we developed an incredibly durable rod series that delivers increased hoop strength for enhanced lifting power, pinpoint tracking for long casts, and smooth loading in close.
Recon is built to adapt—whether you’re tucking baitfish patterns up under mangroves or picking pockets in headwater creeks. No unnecessary flair, just relentless go-anywhere versatility, crafted in the USA by anglers who measure success by stories, not likes. Available in 13 new freshwater and six saltwater models.
Warranty
What that means is, we’ll fix your broken fly rod, and if we can’t fix it, we’ll replace it, no questions asked. Step on it, close the door on it, run over it with the car—it doesn’t matter, we’ll fix it. If we can’t repair it, we’ll choose a newer model rod of at least equal value to replace it. Your investment is assured for a nominal shipping and handling charge.
In 2026, Orvis has it dialed in. This thing feels as good as the $1200+ rods I've casted on our shop casting lane. It feels lighter than previous models, and the aqua blue finish is pretty sweet. The 9wt felt powerful and accurate at long and shorter distances, and I'm looking forward to purchasing the 8wt for my next bonefish rod.
