FEED BACK LOOP “The new boots long awaited with the sticky rubber soles (boa) are narrower than the
others” “consider changing materials used in the gravel guards. They fit funky, look funky, and are generally bunched up around the boot”
“I think waders are a weak point”
“I LOVE the new Recon rods!”
“I would like to see less of the double grip on the 11-12 weights.”
“I think Orvis makes the best rods on the market”
“Waders are not very durable”
“Work on the fit. Still a bit fat”
“Reels work flawlessly. Possibly apply a scratch
proof coating”
“The lack of reverse drag on the Mirage is SO annoying. You should
be able to rip line off the reel without it free spinning and
causing backlash”
“Encounter wading boots just look cheap and clunky”
“seam durability”
“blow out on the seam on the seat”
“11 ft 3wt for euro nymphing”
“They are only Water Resistant at best and they can not be submersed in the water”
“Women‘s Open Air Casting Shirt, it's not very soft”
“I used your guides sling pack or a while and found it lacked organization within”
“We use your lines almost exclusively”
“Much improved over the last 10 Years. Quality and durability”
