Hydros 865-4 Mid Flex

8' 6", 4-piece, Mid-Flex fly rod for 5-wt. line.

For years the 8-foot 6-inch 5-weight was the best-selling fly rod model in the Orvis line and the new Hydros version is no different. The simple combination of medium length and medium weight makes it the most versatile fly rod ever built. From small streams, to large rivers, from trout to bass, this fly rod can handle it all. Hydros' new, patented graphite technology only adds to the versatility of this rod giving it greater power to present larger flies and wonderful lightweight sensitivity to fight smaller quarry. Recommended by our schools as the perfect first fly rod, the 865-4 remains the single best all around fly rod on the market today. The best, lightweight, all-around trout rod made for the widest range of fly fishing conditions and techniques at a price that won't break the bank.
