3 FEED BACK LOOP consider changing materials used in the gravel guards. They fit funky, look funky, and are generally bunched up around the boot We use your lines almost exclusively 11 ft 3wt for euro nymphing I would like to see less of the double grip on the weights. They are only Water Resistant at best and they can not be submersed in the water I LOVE the new Recon rods! Women s Open Air Casting Shirt, it's not very soft 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 Much improved over the last 10 Years. Quality and durability The new boots long awaited with the sticky rubber soles (boa) are narrower than the others I think waders are a weak point Reels work flawlessly. Possibly apply a scratch proof coating seam durability blow out on the seam on the seat I used your guides sling pack or a while and found it lacked organization within Encounter wading boots just look cheap and clunky Work on the fit. Still a bit fat Waders are not very durable I think Orvis makes the best rods on the market
