Orvis Clearwater Revival

The budget offering in the Orvis line of reels has been the Clearwater. These die-cast reels feature a matte gray powder coat finish and a powerful inline, Rulon to stainless, stacked disc drag system. It also has a positive click drag knob for consistent settings.

For 2019, the Clearwater has been given an upgraded look that more closely matches the higher-priced Mirage series. Also, there's a new member of this family - a cassette version that comes with a casette spool on the reel, along with two spare spools. This offers the fly angler the option of loading different weight lines on the same reel. Or different type lines (floating vs intermediate vs sinking).
