Well after my moral dilema on why or why not to buy orvis, I bought a 6wt
Clearwater Classic from them.

I now officially think it's the best rod I own (minus bamboos which are there
own animal) I'm not a good caster at all, and this is the first rod I have
ever had that I can cast my entire line with. I am completly in awe with
it....(or do all my other rods just suck( most being St Croix and one ole'
scott 8wt that I can barely cast). For $225 for a 4 piece, I would recommend
it to anyone. I can't say enough about the damn thing.

Well just thought I would share....
