Access 105-4 Tip Flex

Access 10' 5wt. 4 piece, Tip Flex 9.5, 2 3/4 ounces

An excellent rod for Czech and indicator nymphing. The extra length makes for better line control and roll casting capabilities. Also, a great float tube and pontoon boat rod. Very powerful and crisp.

Pay more for remarkably lightweight performance? There is no longer a reason. The new Orvis Access Rod Series offers true premium rod, weightless performance at a remarkably accessible price. The carbon-based composite blanks are impregnated with a new epoxy based resin system with plasticizers for a stronger composite. This is a proprietary new material demonstrating an exceptional strength-to-weight ratio making these rods even lighter than some higher-priced models. Using the new Exclusive Load Ratio technology, developed by Orvis rod designers over the past two years, Access rods offer a performance-to-price ratio unheard of in the industry until now. Access rods cast with the same power and precision as the highest price rods on the market, are lighter than most, and yet come at a price that is accessible to everyone. Cast this rod once and you’ll question the price. Cast it twice and you won’t live without it.

Access rods are completely new, from raw materials to tapers to hardware. Blanks are a deep glowing root beer color, with matching woven carbon reel seat, champagne aluminum hardware, and sunburst thread wraps with gold tipping. Cork is a new super-grade cork (with a cork-and-EVA foam fighting butt on Saltwater models), some of the finest cork we’ve seen in years. Guides are hard chrome. Each rod comes with a Safe Passage Rod Carrying Case.

The blanks are all made in the Orvis rod shop in Manchester, Vermont.
