How Fly Rods are Made | Orvis Rod Shop | Behind the Brand | Fly Fishing

[@Avicados]

Incredible. What amazing rods and craftsmanship. The test at the end was jaw dropping.

[@goswo]

Wow. Im amazed. This guy really knows his sh.. what a master. I have never owned an Orvis rod, now I want one.

[@melchurch3019]

That was fun. I always go to Orvis and the fly fishing museum when I'm up that way. Thanks.

[@austintodeson1679]

It’s impossible not to like Tom i did a school project on him last year

[@joeg5414]

I love airports 😂 when I was a kid in the 90s my mom would drop me off at the airport and I would spend the day taking pictures. This was before 9/11 so it was much easier. I even worked in airfield management in the air force 😂

[@scottnock5241]

I love the factory tours!! Orvis replaced a tip on my super fine 2wt, couldn’t tell the difference from the original tip on that delicate stick!!!

[@Pwrcritter]

Thanks Orvis for the Recon repair! Rod looks great.. cant wait to try it out.

[@LeakyWadersAdventureClub]

So cool. I just bought a Winston Air 2 and loved that video. Would be really cool to see all the major US brands places that are making stuff in the US.

[@mikemcgeehan4321]

Great look into rod making. Thank you.

[@lambertsaldi1550]

Hey Cheech and crew! Awesome Thanks for visiting Vermont The Barre Vermonter BS

[@kevinwilmot2488]

Absolutely fantastic video. Thanks for sharing.

[@gldead3741]

That was absolutely an amazing video !

[@FlyFishFood]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@fishhandsfranky]

It’s not easy to make “how it’s made” videos fun, but this crew could make anything fun. Cool vid.

[@jasonburger3816]

Awesome vid! Nice stick figure hat!

[@tylerurruty7118]

Excellent video guys! But give me a smooth casting Winston from those boys up in Twin Bridges every day!

[@FlyFishFood]

We agree. We fish both

[@danreiners2356]

Dude, JFK is right on Jamaica Bay which has phenomenal striped bass and bluefish fishing.

[@daveschlom4033]

This was very cool. I learned a lot. Makes me love my Recon even more.

[@patches152]

Praise Be To Our Lord And Savior Tom Rosenbauer!

[@jackall160]

Praise be

[@almoschetti5503]

Thanks Cheech and Curtis. I really enjoyed the video. I have several Orvis Rods but not a Helius but after seeing this I may have to consider one, and sell off my off brand models, even though I am not a big fan of the white label.. lol Thanks again and enjoy the videos and the store. Tight Lines

[@michaelcapurso]

Nice video, good to see where my new SFG came from. Tenkara rules😁

[@scottkavanagh486]

Fantastic video !!! Thanks for sharing.

[@HalfInsaneOutdoorGuy]

1st. Thank you for all you do =) love the vids, love the store!!

"There's a closed-toe shoe policy" Tom Rosenbauer: "I had no clue, I just rolled out of bed and thought I'd come down to the manufacturing floor in sandals and a kick-ass t-shirt"

[@Stick2208]

2:39 are you guys triplets, great video

[@gsflycaddis]

Orvis should bring back Superfine graphite series. Especially, the 7'6" 1wt.

[@edsantelli02]

Praise be to Tom 🙏

[@hayden3281]

Me at the beginning of the video: man how cool would it be if Tom Rosenbauer was there. Me a few minutes in: Sweet tender mercy....

[@lenzflyfishing]

Have had my Helios 3D for over 2 years now and have caught a lot of trout on it. Orvis surpassed my expectations with that rod 🎣🐟

[@tikkin11]

Could I have the broken one and then file a warranty claim? Seriously, it was cool to see how a quality rod is made. You guys should follow up with a tour of an "over seas" rod factory.

[@GeorgeSemel]

What I see here is that there is a hell of a lot of work that goes into making a fly rod. I never considered the Orvis Helios because of that god-awful white sticker. I just have to rethink that. Tom is not a big guy, my guess is his family tree comes from the East of Poland. I am not a big guy either and I am taller than the legend. I interviewed for a Job with him, I thought it when well, never heard another word, no matter a week and a half later got an offer to go up to Alaska to fly so it all worked out. I guessed when I said that the Scott G2 8' 2wt was a better rod than the Orvis 7'9" 2wt may have had some effect on it. No matter, I got a decade of steady year-long flying out of it, then I when seasonal till I retired last year. Given a choice, I still think I would rather go fish with Curtis but that is another issue.

[@gavinrueda2119]

How long are you guys in VT, I live really close and know some great spots around there

[@Highrockoutdoors47]

Awsome

[@bensmithmyer4048]

Tenkara slander is the best

[@daveschlom4033]

I agree. I don't know why really, but my hatred for Tenkara is absolute.😅

[@joedas4563]

When Im been saving for 2 years for a orvis helios and not there set, and them breaking it

[@flyfishingphotoproject]

Sean and Brigham look like theyre brothers

[@guwop2234]

whys it take me like 5 months for a tip replacement though

[@FlyFishFood]

Depends on lots of things. Most rod companies go through similar struggles.

[@scottthompson2785]

they have a new replacement program where you don't have to send your full rod back and wait months. I broke my H3 tip section last month and had a new tip 3 days later!

[@tomramostr1]

Stick figure 😎😎😎

[@dankochanek8056]

Cheech, did you give the guy from Orvis that rabbit hat?

[@FlyFishFood]

Yup

[@centralmassanglers]

I’ve sent my h3 back twice believe me they break

[@FlyFishFood]

Any rod will break… for me the durability seems better than others.

[@_BlueAxis_]

The most important step, the guide wrapping, totally bypassed.

[@FlyFishFood]

@@_BlueAxis_ because they have people in the community who wrap them. Similar to lots of other big rod brands.

[@flyfishingphotoproject]

Wait his name is Brigham. That's the most Utah thing I've ever heard

[@flyfishingphotoproject]

Ah NVM it's Curtis

[@FlyFishFood]

Brigham is our cameraman. And he’s not from Utah 😂😂

[@RVRRUN00]

Thanks! Interesting video. Hate those ugly Orvis white rod labels!

[@robinred1851]

So do I. Looks terrible.

[@FlyFishFood]

You should cast one. You’d forget about a label.

[@barry4fish19]

I did, I own 5 different models and yes I do like them - I can live with the white label, BUT I cannot tolerate the fact that Orvis no longer makes a fly rod with a hook keeper. Pretty sad, lots of us would have paid extra for that.

[@mikus247]

next time save yourself a day and fly into Albany. You literally fly past manch to drive back to manch.

[@FlyFishFood]

Manch wasn’t the only stop on that trip 😬

[@Subaruuu12]

that god damn white label is terrible. and its gonna be on the H4 as well. Orvis is really pigeon holing themselves with that graphic.

[@FlyFishFood]

Ha ha. So it’s called the H4? You sure? They seem to sell super well but a minority don’t like the white.
