The Recon 763-4 Fly Rod is an exceptional small stream and light line rod that provides the delicacy and precision of a premium rod. An exceptional choice for spring creeks where big trout are particularly wary and delicacy is a must. Excellent as well for tight-quartered brook trout streams, but certainly with the strength to handle big browns and rainbows. Helios 3 is the benefactor behind the new Recon, utilizing its construction techniques and performance attributes to refine and improve the new series. Increased hoop strength, better tracking, improved damping, and ultimately, significantly improved accuracy are now incorporated into the Recon that is also stronger, more impact resistant, and offers the mid-price buyer access to the best technology Orvis fly rods have to offer.
