The Orvis Recon® Saltwater Fly Rod is a true workhorse saltwater fly rod—built for anglers who fish hard, travel often, and need a rod that performs when conditions turn ugly. Designed to be tossed in the back of a truck, strapped to a pack, or stowed in a floatplane pontoon, Recon delivers high-end saltwater casting power with the rugged durability required for flats skiffs, surf lines, mangrove edges, and windy open water.
Inspired by construction techniques from Orvis’ flagship Helios™ series, the Recon platform is engineered to handle the demands of salt: increased hoop strength for added lifting power, pinpoint tracking for accurate long casts, and smooth loading in close when you’ve got a surprise shot at short range.
Saltwater fly anglers need one thing above all—confidence. Recon is made to adapt whether you’re tucking baitfish patterns under mangroves, driving tight loops through wind, or presenting quickly when fish show up out of nowhere. No flash, no gimmicks—just relentless performance in a rod that’s ready for travel, abuse, and big fish.
