"I bought this rod for steelies and kings. I use my 8wt clearwater with my big game orvis reel, what a combo. This 8wt rod did wonders on the big manistee steelies.Nice control an can do a lil horsing. When bottom boucning the tip is like a 7wt with the back bone of the 8, can't go wrong with this rod. I used it this fall on the kings, I put a beating on them big boys. Well worth the price. I have sage, scott, and g loomis rods. This orvis is my favorite rod for Fresh water big game. I'd like to take back my other rods and get my money back."

Great Rod for the money, October 5, 2008
By: Bilbo from Steelhead Alley NW Pennsylvania

"Super nice fly rod I recently Purchased Two 108-4 one for each of my sons. Love the 25 year warranty. I must admit they compare very closely to my Helios for about 1/4 the price that means a lot of bang for the buck. Great overall steelhead rod very responsive light and casts well almost as good as my Helios. Cast for cast my sons can keep up with me and my Helios all day long. Which for the price says a ton about the quality of this rod?"

awesome steelie rod, May 2, 2008
By: Anonymous

"I picked the 10ft 8wt up, really good back bone for steelies, landed a hugh 15lbs. buck, my buddie was using a sage fli 8wt, with my clearwater I was able to control & muscle the steelies in better, it was also senitive enough to not break my lite leaders, great rod over all, I think I'll stick with orvis"

"For $200 you get rod better than ZG. Clearwater II has great quality and performance. I caught almost 60 steelheads using this rod. One of my favorite rods since i started to flyfish 18 years ago."
