If you don't want to break the bank,go with the Orvis Clearwater2 with the battenkill L/A. i broke the rod 3 times and the 3 times Orvis has sent me a brand new rod. that means a lot to me. i like to work the rocks and all 3 times i slipped on the rocks and damaged the rod.within 4 days have a new rod.
Warranty is key.what are you getting with the price you're paying for such rod besides the rod? i bought a Scott,needed repair and i had to pay an arm and a leg to fix it and i said no way.it all depend on how hard you fish.if you fish this fall run hard ,go everywhere,in my opinion orvis is the way to go.there's other rods better,but a UNCONDITIONAL 25 year WARRANTY is hard to find.
