I've had my clearwater 9' 5wt for 3 years now and still love swinging with it every time I use it. Action feels good, and it can throw meaty streamers out there just fine or put a small dry exactly where I want it. I tested the recon when I first got into fly fishing and feel in love with its feel and weight. the action is fast which is what I've come to like. I've always thought of the Recon as first shelf in Orvis' top-tier rods. its got quality parts, great action, and seems like a workhorse rod that won't break the bank.

--Will the 9' 8wt Recon roll cast well to swing clousers or shad flies? Are the Recons durable? I know I can go lawn cast one but that one tell me how the rod fishes. thanks all!

Accuracy, durability, feel, and fun to fish a priority over broomstick/hero casts. Planning a trip to Orvis anyway for fly tying material so I'm gonna check out what they've got, but I'm not real familiar with their stuff. In terms of real world fishing is there much of a difference between the Clearwater and Recon? Is the H3 THAT much better that it's worth saving up for? Do they have a recommended WF line for bass flies? Any fly shop is a not fun drive on 95 for me, so any advice I can get here on rods or line to go with it is really appreciated. Hope this isn't beating a dead horse, thanks!
