Rod;
Punch flies through coastal winds with the strong, powerful Clearwater 8-Weight 9′ Fly Rod.
The Clearwater 908-4 offers the strength to handle medium sized saltwater species and to power a line
through often tough and windy conditions. Perfect for NZ kahawai, ray riding kingfish
and the smaller tuna species.
The Clearwater 908-4 checks off a lot of boxes in your arsenal and barely scratches the budget.
The new Clearwater® Rod Series is not just a cosmetic facelift, but a complete overhaul from the ground up
by our Vermont rod designers. Everything has changed except the value.
It’s still the best fly rod you can buy for the money, but with a significant upgrade in performance and looks
in a comprehensive series that covers every angler from small stream addicts to Skagit slinging two-handers.
Each rod was designed with a purpose-built profile and action to handle the kind of fishing the rod model
would be traditionally used for, from medium-action small stream rods to medium-fast freshwater rods
and fast-action big water rods.

Reel;
Refinement and improvement are the hallmark of quality. The new Orvis Hydros® Reel is the result of our own desire
to make something great, that much better.
We took a best-selling reel and removed unnecessary material to further reduce the weight while stiffening the
narrow spool which minimizes line stacking. We changed the drag knob to be more ergonomically accessible and comfortable to use.
We further refined the seal on the sealed drag to protect the clutch bearing in the drag mechanism.
We radiused the reel foot as on the Mirage for kink-free leader protection.
The fully-sealed drag with stacked carbon and stainless steel disc washers is still one of the strongest in the industry with zero start-up inertia.
Matte type II anodized finish, standard large arbor size which balances better with lighter-weight fly rod,
and yet still offers excellent retrieval rates and less line coiling than standard arbor reels.
Matte black with silver accents, matte silver with charcoal accents.
* Hydros IV for line weights 7-9; 6.6 oz, 4″ in diameter.
* Refined, lighter weight large arbor fly reel
* Improved fully-sealed drag clutch bearing
* Radiused reel foot for kink-free leader protection
* Ergonomically improved, easy to use drag knob
* Zero start-up inertia
* Excellent retrieval rates and less line coiling

SA item number: 131322
The Amplitude Smooth series of lines are, simply put, the highest-performance smooth fly lines in the world.
With up to five times less drag and eight times the durability of traditional lines, this will change the way
you look at fly line performance.
Tarpon. Bonefish. Permit. All in one day. All on one fly line.
That’s the idea behind the Amplitude Smooth Grand Slam, a line designed specifically to help you achieve
one of angling’s most elusive accomplishments.
With a short, powerful head the Grand Slam cuts through wind and turns over crabs, shrimp, and tarpon toads
with ease.
We’ve got the line. You just need the fish.
* Features the revolutionary AST Plus slickness additive for superior shooting ability and increased durability
* The perfect line for bonefish, tarpon, and permit on the flats; also great for snook, redfish, and sea trout
* Overweighted by .75 sizes to load rods quickly; use designated line weight for your rod
* Short, powerful head turns over long leaders with heavy flies
* Tropi-Core technology remains stiff and slick in tropical environments
