Orvis Clearwater 9' 5wt Trout Outfit

The Orvis Clearwater 9' 5wt Trout Outfit is a complete, ready-to-fish system designed for anglers seeking reliable performance at an exceptional value. This outfit pairs the newly redesigned Clearwater fly rod—engineered in Vermont with a purpose-built medium-action profile—with the proven Clearwater II reel, a die-cast large-arbor design featuring a sealed carbon-to-stainless drag system that performs on par with premium machined reels. The included Scientific Anglers Frequency Boost 5-weight fly line is built half-size heavy for effortless casting of dries, nymphs, and streamers. Its supple, braided multifilament core and versatile mid-length head make it ideal for small streams and general freshwater trout fishing. The outfit also includes 20-lb. Dacron backing and a protective gray rod tube. Built to last, the Clearwater rod features black chrome blanks with white accents, chrome snake guides with ceramic inserts, and full black nickel aluminum reel seats. The Clearwater II reel converts easily between left- and right-hand retrieve, with a positive click drag knob for consistent settings and an updated radiused reel foot that prevents leader kinking. Backed by Orvis's 25-Year Guarantee, this outfit delivers the confidence and durability serious trout anglers demand, without the premium price tag.

Rod:

Everything has changed except the value. The new Clearwater Rod Series is a complete overhaul from the ground up by our Vermont rod designers. Each rod is designed with a purpose-built profile and action to handle the fishing the rod would be traditionally used for, from medium-action small stream rods to medium-fast freshwater rods and fast-action big game rods. Designed in Vermont for anglers worldwide. Click here to learn how to select a fly-fishing rod.

Reel

Still the best performance-to-value reel series in the industry, Clearwater Large-Arbor Reels have a new addition to the family—the Clearwater II, III, and IV. The die-cast design is protected by a durable powder-coat finish built to withstand hard use. An improved Carbon®-to-stainless, sealed disc drag holds its own with high-performance machined reels. The new Clearwater fly reel converts easily to either left- or right-hand retrieve. Positive click drag knob delivers consistent settings. Updated radiused reel foot keeps your leader from kinking when wrapped around it.

Half-Size Heavy Floater

Let’s be honest. No one will ever turn down a little extra help with their cast. Luckily, the Frequency Boost, built a half-size heavy, provides just that. This general purpose floating fly line loads quickly, turns over large dries, nymph rigs, and streamers with ease, and features a mid-length head perfect for nearly all freshwater applications.

Features

• Excellent general-purpose line

• Half-size heavy and more powerful than the Trout taper

• Better with larger, heavier flies

• Supple and easy to use

• Versatile mid-length head

• Braided multifilament core
