Great for Airport Travel, October 13, 2008
By: PBTraveler from Salem, OR

"I purchase a 5 wt. Mid Flex 3 weeks ago. My work takes me to many places in CA, OR, WA, ID, MT, BC and AB CANADA. I never check my bags so I needed something small for trout on the Clark Fork or American River. The rod is very strong! I pulled in two steelhead on the North Umpqua outside of Glide, OR and the only thing I was worried about was my 5X tippet breaking. Great rod, if I had the money I would buy a 7 wt. or 9 wt. for the salmon fishing. Don't waste your money on any other rod if you are look for somthing small to put in your carry-on. I hate wasting money!!!!!!"

"I got the Orvis 9 weight Frequent Flyer Rod and an Orvis Battenkill Mid Arbor reel. I took casting lessons and my instructor thought the rod was a joke till he tried it then he went crazy over it. Then I flew to Belize and my guide laughed at my rod and reel when I told him I wanted a nice Tarpon, Permit and Jack. I ended up getting 2 Tarpons (about 80lbs and 30 lbs) and a good number of large Jacks. These are great products by Orvis. Did I also mention that I used the 9 weight Orvis redfish floating line. With this combination, we could all cast further than any other setup the guide and lodge had. My guide put aside all the heavy gear he was bringing as backup by the end of the week."

Small Package Big Backbone, June 27, 2008
By: CorbinaBlu from SoCalif

"I purchased this rod for its portability going through airports and jamming into little rental cars around central Mexico. However, I was leery of seven pieces standing up to big fish. Was I ever impressed. I effortlessly threw 6 and 8 inch sardina patterns with 10 wt shooting tapers to hot Dorado and when the time came (which was often) the rod could put the muscle on the 25-30 pounders when they bulldogged for the bottom as well as any conventional boat rod can. Other rods (not Orvis) up to 13 wt. on the boat broke - not this one. I also have a TLS 2 pc. 9 wt. for surf and bays in SoCal and this 7 pc. is just as smooth."

Stripping a clouser near A'Bay.

"I recently took a family vacation (not an exclusive fishing vacation) to the Big Island of Hawaii. I have a 2 1/2 year old son, which means we would have our hands full at the aiports on our journey, so I purchased this combo, with the matching Mid Arbor reel. They easily packed into my suitcase, in fact they took up so little room that I took my 5wt Frequent Flier as well for smaller water.

The 9 weigh cast beautifully - you would never guess that it was 7 piece by feel. And the reel matched well. I could throw long casts all day for umulu, barracuda and bonefish.

This is the perfect setup to get in some fishing without hauling a ton of gear with you!"
