Some fly rods are awesome. Others are affordable. With the Encounter rod outfit, Orvis decided you should have both. This 8'6", 5-weight fly rod will handle trout, panfish, and bass in equal measure. This is the perfect fly rod for a beginner, or a fantastic back-up rod for the angler who already has it all, from a trusted brand in fly fishing. The outfit comes with an Encounter rod and rod tube, Encounter reel, fly line, and leader. Almost everything you need to hit the water, fish not included!

The Encounter rod is covered by a limited warranty that protects against defects in craftsmanship.
