Recon freshwater and saltwater fly-fishing rods boast an excess of performance-minded highlights in a sleek, stealthy design. Freshwater anglers trust in our Recon collection for a delicate presentation to keep spooky fish from bolting. Recon rods and outfits are designed for presentation and control on meandering streams or big water. Nor will a gentle touch shoulder out strength—Recon fly rods have the backbone to battle big fish who put up a fight. Throw hefty flies against a stiff wind, and they’ll hit their target every time—even when the elements conspire against you.

Make the most of goosebump-inducing runs—the Recon saltwater rod is a workhorse that turns screaming lines into landed fish. Stalk the flats for your favorite catch and cast with confidence. Choose the rod outfit to suit your style and prey, and let our meticulous engineering do the heavy lifting. Wherever you intend to drop your next fly, Recon saltwater and freshwater fly-fishing rods are designed to deliver.

Orvis Recon® is the rod designed for the anglers who chase blue lines on topo maps and spend their nights bent over maps, plotting the next day’s adventures. For those who manage riverside meals of granola bars and jerky paired with the evening hatch instead of a sit-down meal at a sane hour. For anglers who would rather spend the day in the front of a skiff than behind a desk, we’ve created a rod ready to work as hard as you do in the pursuit of fish. Recon teams high-performance feel with lightness in hand. With close-in loading ability and the power for longer reach, the rods feature a modern shadow green blank and covert black nickel hardware.
