I have a two piece Orvis PM 10, 9 wt (like $400.00).....I was looking for 4 piece to travel with. I ended up with the TFO 8wt 4 pc for like $149.00 or something. I use the same reel (battenkill large arbor) between the two rods. I actually like the TFO better. You might want to take a ride up to First Light Anglers they have a great feild behind the store and will let you cast any of the rods........FYI Sometimes you can go to seirratradingpost online and find close outs on reels......I bought a 14wt (for tuna) for short change.....Good luck

check your pm
