Thanks Tom. I recently broke the rod I use on lakes with a full sinking line, this might be the one.Got one last spring. https://www.pnwflyfishing.com/forum/index.php?threads/9-5wt-orvis-clearwater.1165/
I think it's a great lake rod and the few times I've used it in the river it fished well. I would say it's on the faster side, yes. I would buy again.
I have used it with the clearwater floater, and the intermediate (both a 1/2 wt heavy) and a 16' s3 sink tip and it handled all those well. I will get a type 6 for it. It casts well from a float tube or shore.Thanks Tom. I recently broke the rod I use on lakes with a full sinking line, this might be the one.
That's not bad! Honestly though, I've always felt that the Clearwater is such an easy casting rod that performs far above it's price point.Flexed one at the Cabela's Out post here in Yakima today. Not ready to pull the trigger yet, but I do have more than enough points to walk out the door with it with all my cash intact. Thanks Tom and Kado for your in put.
