Instantly I think of the action on the Superfine Touch and I dare to say they are very similar at this point,maybe the Trout Bum a little stiffer.
#Orvis superfine touch review full
At that very moment I though to myself… mmm full flex, it feels good. When I first get the rod at my office I was very exited, I build it right there for the classic indoor fly shop test that doesn’t tell you a lot but gives you a little “taste” of it. Finding them new are getting difficult as time pass byĪll of you reading this have to keep in mind that my view of this rod may differ from yours in a lot of ways, everyone has different likes and dislikes, different expectations, different casting strokes even different amount of experience fishing UL fly rods. If you can live with an used one you can find it cheaper than that. You can see in the above picture the difference in the reel seat between a Superfine Trout Bum 761-4 and the Superfine Touch 761-4.Īnother winning in the Superfine Trout Bum is its sale price, at 425 US dollars you can’t go wrong with a rod so packed with nice features, including titanium nitrite guides, gold ferrule alignment dots, sanded blanks, orange wraps with gold tipping. Some people are fond to this old reel seat and other likes the uplocking reel seat more, its easier to put a reel on them. The old reel seat is a blessing for some and a course for others, it subtracts as much as an ounce to the over rod weight, but require a more heavier reel to balance it well. The rod came with an aluminum rod tube which is on the classic side of Orvis rod tubes with a nice bronze cap. Don’t be fooled by it full flex action, it has the backbone you need to use nymphs and defeat some wind, keep in mid this is a 1 wt rod. Orvis worked hard on the tapers of this blanks, they make it a little more on the mid flex action, being a full flex, this rod loads great at short and long distances. This model also sport a cork with aluminum rings which make it very light.

This series break the unsanded blanks legacy for a sanded one. The superfine Trout Bum series of rods where launched in the mid 00’s till the Superfine replaced it this year (2011). The weight of the rod is a mere 2.125 oz. The Orvis Superfine Trout Bum 761-4 is a full flex fly rod, the 761-4 means that is a 7 feet 6 inches long, 1 weight AFTMA rod and 4 pieces.
