Hi guys looking for some advice as whether or not to get the orvis western 3. I have heard it is a very good rod and want to know what you guys think cheers.

Dont know about the three, but had a western, very late nineties, very soft/slow action ideal for rolling out flies, or sending out big open loops, or for casting stroke which is not the "punch" style.
As for orvis guarantees and service, second to none!
regards
bert

Superb blank, good fittings, poor cork, customer services second to none.

The Pirate.

I've got the 9 1/2 ft #7 for fishing off the bank and really like it.

Nice rod. Good value.

Well worth having, blank brilliant, agree with the Pirate about the cork. However if the cork fails send the rod back. Orvis will replace it. They did with mine and the new cork seems much improved.
I use this rod for my competition fishing.
