I have an older 9' Shakespeare 8'6" 9wt. fiberglass fly rod I picked up at a yard sale some years back for 5 bucks. I found out just recently that it's equivalent to a 9#wt. so I ordered an inexpensive 9wt. reel from Orvis along with some great 9 wt. fly line marked down at 75% off! However when I checked my order a little bit ago I noticed that they added 30 pound Dacron backing at no charge! So I got on "live chat" to find out what the deal was and the person told me that when ever you order a fly reel and fly line in the same order Orvis spools it for you and adds the backing at no extra charge! I had been planning on picking up some backing later on but now I not only won't have to, I won't have to go through all the anguish tying "nail knots" again! Just want to give Orvis their props, they deserve them! :thumbup:

Orvis is also a sponsor of this site, so that just helps Chris keep things going! :cool2:

Orvis has some great videos on line and on WFN (world fishing network) if you are able to get that station on cable. I really enjoy the videos because they don't overwhelm you with too much information.

While you are talking about Orvis, you might want to check out their $9.99 fly special for a dozen flies, it includes shipping and you get a variety of flies including the wooly buggers.

This deal from Orvis may be what you were referring to! 20...count 'em! 20 flies for $9.95 with FREE shipping! I just ordered these and only had to pay $.62 for sales tax! It's a "one per household" deal to introduce Orvis quality flies that normally cost three times as much! Enjoy!
