Thank you for your interest in this Orvis Trident TLS fly rod. This rod is used but in great condition. It has only been used a few times.
What is instantly recognizable about
the new Trident TLS series of rods, besides the familiar green and gold
cosmetics, is the performance. Indeed Trident TL rods have been
recognized in awards by the industry’s most prominent publications in
the United States and Europe, garnering an Editors Choice award from
Fly Fish America, a Gray’s Sporting Journal, Gray’s Best award, a Best
of the Best award from the Robb Report, and an award at the 2001 EMAP
magazines convention in Europe.
Trident TLS rods incorporate the same trademark TL compound
tapers that make TLS rods in every line weight among the lightest rods
on the market. Each TLS uses the same maple burl reel seats, gold
anodized reel-seat hardware, and is coated with the same deep green
finish, a three step process that includes a final UV blocking clear
coat. Chrome guides on the freshwater TLS and black anodized guides on
the saltwater version finish the package. Equally as recognizable and
appreciated is the sticker price, nearly 40% less than the TL’s of the
past.
Trident TLS is one of the most complete rod series in the
world, covering line weights one through fourteen. Many line weights
include rods in all three flex-index ratings, full-, medium- and
tip-flex, to match anybody’s casting style and fly-rod action
preference. Included in the TLS line are three seven-piece rods, many
four-piece rods, in addition to the standby two-piece versions.
The time has never been better to upgrade you rod quiver with
these best selling Trident rods. The 865, an 8’ 6”, two-piece, mid-flex
rod for 5wt line, is one of the most versatile rods available, a
perfect match for any casting style, great for beginners and experts
alike. The 905, a 9’ 5” two-piece, tip-flex rod for 5wt line, gives the
angler a little more length for mending line and is a great nymph rod
with a powerful butt section and delicate tip. The 908-4, 9’
four-piece, tip-flex rod for 8wt line, is our most popular, versatile
travel rod for saltwater species. The 909-4, a 9’, four-piece, tip-flex
rod for 9wt line is the most popular travel rod in the Florida Keys, a
great performer for everything from redfish to stripers.
You can’t go wrong with a Trident TLS. Every taper is time
tested, every detail is first quality. And every Trident TLS is back ed
by an unconditional quarter-century guarantee. Orvis will repair or
replace your rod should you break it, no questions asked. In addition,
if you purchase a complete rod outfit, including a Battenkill Large
Arbor Reel for example, we’ll include a Wonderline at no charge. All
things considered, the TLS is the most significant rod value on the
market today.
