Orvis has remade its popular mid-priced rod series the Orvis Recon. The original Recon was known for its high-performance capabilities and a fast action design that we loved and recommended often. The Recon was a rod that was near-perfect for anglers looking for a bread-and-butter 5wt in the mid-price range. These rods were great for nymphing, throwing larger dry flies, and casting in the wind. So what has changed in the all-new Recon 2?

One of the most significant changes in the new Orvis Recon 2 is Orvis' use of trickle-down technology. Since the original Recon, Orvis designed and released an extremely diverse and dynamic high-end rod series: The Orvis Helios 3 Fly Rods. The company used what they learned in the creation of those rods to remake the Recon with an action Orvis says falls somewhere between the Orvis Helios 3F and the Orvis Helios 3D. Watch our review to see how the new Orvis Recon 2 stacks up.
