Orvis 'Frequent Flyer' Fly Rods

As the name suggests, the Orvis Frequent Flyer series of fly rods are designed for the frequent flyer. They are designed so as to be able to fit in the carry-on bin when flying.

All the fly rods in this series are seven-piece rods, allowing them to pack down into a tiny, little package that will easily slip into virtually any carry-on piece of luggage.

Despite these rods being in seven-pieces, the Frequent Flyer rods are surprisingly stiff...as they are either mid-flex or tip-flex fly rods.

So, who are these rods for? If you carry-on your luggage, then these fly rods have your name on it. However, do keep in mind that many other fly rods break down into four-pieces, allowing them to be easily carried as normal check-in luggage. Thus, before buying a rod from this series, determine whether or not you require your rod to come on the plane with you.

The other type of person this fly rod is ideal for...and I personally think it's the biggest advantage this rod series offers...is for the backcountry traveler. As the rod breaks down into such a tiny package and is lightweight, this rod is ideal for packing into the backcountry...as it will slip inside any size backpack (even a small daypack). And as these rods cost $200 or less, it's hard to argue with the price, considering the quality of these rods.

These rods are also good for new anglers, as they are quite forgiving and their mid-flex action allows these rods to be adequately used in a wide-range of conditions.

Unsure of what type of fly rod to get? Then read our Buyers Guide to Fly Rods for helpful information on things to look for when shopping around for one.
