User Reviews

• The fly line is not the best quality compared to the rest of the rod.

Expert Reviews

• The drag isn’t sealed, which means you will have to care or clean your reel after using it in saltwater.
• The drag is not the best for stopping big fish compared to other options on the market.
• Does not come with a combined case for fly rod and reel for ease of transportation.
• Orvis does not offer warranty for the Encounter line, so you won’t be covered for anything that happens.
• The fly reel is plastic and not cast aluminum, which some users may not like.
