Orvis Mission Full Spey Fly Rod
These Spey rods have enough power and backbone to handle big water, big flies, and strong fish.
The Story
American-made Mission two-handed rods are built right here in Vermont using award-winning Helios™ rod technology. On the water, these Short Spey rods deliver a combination of performance and castability, with blanks designed to dampen vibrations, making every cast easier and more accurate. The Mission series is made up of 10 rods, from 11′ Switch and Trout Spey rods to 13’6″ Full Spey models. Blanks are matte black with orange accents, and each has a quick rod identifier. We have added composite cork on the grip in high-wear areas. Each rod is finished with REC RECOIL® snake guides, a Ti stripping guide.
