Frequent Flyer Rod #4,
January 17, 2010

"A brilliant lightweight and transportable rod. I have used it at home in Kent (UK) on small stillwaters and in an Appalachian mountain creek in Virginia with great results - a real pleasure to handle! When I got home I went out and bought the #5 rod."

Fragile Flyer,
March 17, 2009
By:
AlexCTfrom Middletown, CT
"I purchased this rod in December and was very excited to get it out on the Farmington River (CT) this March. However, today, after just one day of fishing, this rod snapped as I was fixing the alignment of the ferrules. As I held the rod's midsection, the moderate current picked up the reel and the rod simply broke in half in my hands. It was a very depressing afternoon. In hindsight, it has become clear to me why this is the only rod Orvis does not guarantee against breakage. This is a portable, good-looking rod, but it is not strong enough for me to recommend it to anyone."

Orvis Customer Service contacted the customer and apologized that the 864-7 Frequent Flyer Rod broke during his fishing trip. While this economical rod does not carry the same 25-year no-fault warranty that our more expensive rods do, it still has a lifetime warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. If unexplained breakage occurs, we advise all our customers to return the rod so we can determine the reason for breakage. 100% Customer Satisfaction and quality products are what we stand for, and we strive to be the very best.

Surprisingly responsive,

"This is a very sweet small water rod and is surprisingly accurate and responsive. I mean- 7 pc. rods aren't supposed to be this good!....and don't let my small water remark lead you astary. It can handle water like the Madison River on light wind days. Really nice for the price."

Brilliant Peformer: Home and Away,
September 21, 2007
By:
DurhamDangler
"I have enjoyed using the 864-7 for over a year now and can realistically say that it has exceeded all my expectations. From the first test in the alley behind the Chicago shop (my female companions were exceedingly rude about my chances of catching there!) to a Tennessee Lake where the bluegills were on song, to The Upper Avon in Wiltshire for brown trout and to Tver Region Russia for carp (!) this charming rod has delivered. I have tried much more expensive travel rods that felt sloppy and unevenly balanced. This Orvis gem has a crisp, sharp action that is such a pleasant surprise given its seven sections. I like it so much I bought the 8-weight and a spinning rod too...."

"I purchased the Frequent Flyer 864-7 to keep in my SUV for those moments when I feel the urge to fish. It's so small and compact that nobody knows you have it hidden in your vehicle. This rod feels light in hand and performs well. It's a great rod for those that want to keep a rod available at all times. It would be hard to find a better pack rod for the money. I'm amazed that you can get this performance out of a seven piece rod! Another great product from Orvis."
