Hi guys....

Looking for some info, been offered a 4piece, 10ft, 7 weight Orvis Tls power matrix.

Fancy it from the point of view its Orvis and there reputation exceeds them, however what 'kind' of rod is it?? Been looking about and cant find what am after.

Is this a still water trout rod? What are these worth, its new with plastic on cork, bag and tube etc??

Any experiences/tips/advice would be great....

cheers Steve

It is a big rod, but a nice and smooth rod. I used to work in an orvis shop, so I've cast most of the range from the T3 backwards in time.

It is a 10' 7 wt, so anywhere you'd consider a 10-7 it will be a decent rod. Personally, a 7 wt is too much rod for the trout fishing I'm doing unless it is windy. However, I see a lot of guys on here use bit 7/8 wt rods in 10' for lochs and big lakes, so horses for courses.

It would make a great seatrout rod. Quite a few guys used them for steelhead and light salmon back in the US, so for that purpose they are really good. It is also a fair rod for beach casting if you want the extra length.

Couldn't help on price. I think they were $350-400 or so when we were selling them a few years back. For £100 I'd probably snap it up. For £250 I'd be looking to see what else on the market you can get at that price.

Thanks,
Rick
