I think I have a gem in the England made reel. I am going to use it with my 5 wt. rod. I have already place the reel with the rod and made some cast. I am so impressed with balance and lightness.

I'm not that familiar with modern Orvis reels because I only use pre-1970 click/pawl reels, but I guarantee you won't find better made reels or better customer service if you need it. <br /><br />I've heard arguments that the England made reels are better quality than the newer made in wherever reels. My guess is the quality is still there, but there is some pride in owning those made in England due to some feelings we all harbor about many things made in Asia. <br /><br />Enjoy your new reels, I think you'll love em and don't be afraid to ask for help from Orvis if you have a problem. If I can help in any way, please let me know.cofisherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12288930899340581141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8518971929369280752.post-14898559201025256112014-01-20T10:54:55.476-05:002014-01-20T10:54:55.476-05:00In my experience just looking for deals on used eq...In my experience just looking for deals on used equipment, I have always found that an Orvis reel made in Englad was out of my price range. <br /><br />Nice find!<br /><br />Sorry that was no help to your question! :)CARFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08593449506895654252noreply@blogger.com
