I can't think of a better way to wrap up the 12 Days of Christmas than with Orvis and giving away a Superfine Glass fly rod, C.F.O. fly reel, and a Hydros Superfine fly line to complete the outfit. All three of these items are "Made In U.S.A." and this is one sweet Christmas gift.
Of all the fiberglass fly rod projects that I am privy to know about, give opinions on, and in some cases go hands on with flexing prototypes, the Orvis Superfine Glass fly rods were a favorite. In the end three fly rods made the series with the 7' three weight, 7'6" four weight, and 8' five weight. I wouldn't be to surprised if a couple other models were added to this line up in the coming year...
It's not been surprising to me that the interest for and sales of this series has far surpassed what even Orvis thought there would be and these fly rods have all been on back order from time to time this year. The Superfine Glass fly rods are made, start to finish, in the Vermont rod shop, all have capable progressive tapers, and are just a ton of fun for the price tag.
I guess it was about a year and a half ago when Shawn Combs of Orvis put one of the late prototype C.F.O.'s in my hand on a trip together in the Catskills. I've always had a thing for the C.F.O. fly reels and this series being "Made In U.S.A." just made them that much sweeter. These fly reels just have the perfect look and click and I love to hear mine sing when a big fish runs.
Both the Superfine Glass fly rod series and C.F.O. fly reels were highlighted in the recent "10 For Fall" post which is worth checking out if you haven't.
There are a lot of fly line choices but the Hydros Superfine series of lines was designed with these same series of fly rods in mind making it the perfect choice to complete this outfit.

Thanks a bunch for putting this great contest together, my friend. I didn't win (yet *finger's crossed*) but I appreciate what you've done here.
Ditto the above comments. Thanks Cameron for having a great giveaway for the fly fishing fanatic. Someday maybe we can return the favor!
