Built for the Angler Who Goes Further

Some rods are built for pristine lawns and perfect practice casts. The Orvis Recon Freshwater Fly Rod was built for the real world—truck beds, bush planes, river miles, and anglers who measure success by the stories they bring home.

Designed with construction techniques inspired by the legendary Helios series, the Recon blends advanced engineering with rugged durability. The result is a fly rod that delivers the casting precision serious anglers demand while standing up to the realities of travel, backcountry adventures, and everyday fishing.

From headwater creeks to wide western rivers, the Recon is built to adapt.

Helios-Inspired Performance and Strength

The Recon Freshwater Fly Rod utilizes advanced graphite construction that increases hoop strength throughout the blank. This design improves lifting power and durability while maintaining the crisp tracking and smooth loading anglers rely on for accurate presentations.

Whether you're making long-distance casts across broad runs or short, precise presentations into pocket water, the rod responds with balanced power and exceptional feel. It loads efficiently in close yet retains the backbone needed to drive tight loops in wind or move larger flies when conditions demand it.

This combination of strength and sensitivity makes the Recon a dependable tool for a wide range of freshwater applications.

Crafted for Durability and Everyday Fishing

The Recon’s components are built with durability and performance in mind. A black Type III anodized aluminum reel seat paired with a hardwood insert provides strength and a classic aesthetic. Chrome snake guides and a stripping guide with a SiC insert ensure smooth line management and long-term reliability.

Finished in a matte olive blank with subtle honey accents, the rod maintains a refined look without unnecessary flash. Each rod includes a nylon-covered rod tube for secure travel and storage.

Made in the USA and backed by Orvis’ 25-Year Guarantee, the Recon is designed to be a long-term companion for anglers who spend serious time on the water.
