7- BRAND NEW Orvis Access 905-4 Mid-Flex 6.0 -I got to cast this rod this past October and it is one amazing rod for only $350! The Access the “replacement” series for the TLS PowerMatrix and it is light years ahead of those great rods. The Access series now puts Helios technology in a more affordable price range. I know that we will do very well with these rods in 2011 - but you can get one of these sweet sticks now!!
Priced at only $350.00!
8- NEW Battenkill Large Arbor Reel -They improved on a good thing again! I loved the "old" BLA reels (I've got 7 of them!) and thought, what could they do to make it better? How about making the drag silky smooth with zero start up hesitation and much finer adjustments in tension (Nice for fine tippet on big fish like the Missouri!). Crap, it looks like I'm going to have to now get 7 of the new reels! Sizes for brook trout on up to giant tarpon. FYI- The sive V &/or VI are perfect for Spey Rods!
Priced perfectly from $198 to $259.

9- Orvis Wonderline Generation 3 -They keep improving our best selling fly line! We sell more of this stuff then anything else for darn good reason - it's the slickest around. I've field tested AST, LazerLine, Rio, AirFlo and a couple others and have yet to find one that casts as easy, doesn't tangle up and repels dirt and lasts as long as Orvis Wonderline. (I'm not saying that those fly lines are bad. Heck a Chevy Impala is a good car but if you could buy a Porche for $10 more wouldn't you?!) This was the biggest "buddy buy" product CrossCurrents has ever seen. (That's where one guy buys an item and goes fishing with his buddy and lets him try it. The next day that fella's in the shop saying, "I tried my buddy's fly line out and man, I've gotta get that stuff!") There's a Wonderline configuration that will suite your fancy - from 1-weight double taper to 13-weight tarpon. Priced from $69 to $89.

1- NEW Orvis Mirage Reel
The Orvis large arbor Mirage fly reel combines superior performance and a great price to put it in a class all by itself. Using the same principles employed for the brakes of fighter jets, the carbon to stainless drag gives smooth, consistent, and infinitely-adjustable stopping power—from free spooling to a dead stop. Originally brought out for saltwater/big game, they now make this incredibly sweet reel in trout sizes. Perfect for the big trout in the Missouri River.
Size I, II, III, IV, V, VI in black or gold.
Size VII in gold only.
Priced at $375 - $495.

Do battle with big fish in salt or fresh with this ultimate big game fly rod. I (Chris Strainer writing this) got to field test this rod back in 2007 and loved them both! I took this rod on a fly out Pike trip to Potts Lake in northern Alberta (check out a couple of videos on my YouTube site from this trip.) All 6 people that went on the trip found this to be far and away the best rod of the 8 fly rods we brought (including a couple of Zero Gravities and Winston BIIx). The physical weight of the rod feels more like a 6 weight and was very comfortable punching out fat Pike flies in stiff wind. Lots of power, yet lots of grace. John Roby has this rod and used it with great joy and efficacy down in Florida last winter for several different species in the salt -from Snook in the mangroves and docks to mackerel in the open water.
Priced at $795.00.

This is the rod to have when going after big, Montana trout! All the power you need to chuck a Flash Fry Zonker on a Sink-Tip in a stiff wind on the Missouri. We also love this rod for throwing large dries like Hoppers & Stoneflies. Gorgeous to look at, super light in hand and casts accurately at a country mile. Them folks in VT did this one right.
Priced at $775.00.

This is my favorite rod for dry fly fishing on mid to large rivers (like the MO). It will lay a #22 Trico out with subminute accuracy and drop the fly light as a feather over wary trout! However, it will also turn over a fat PMX with a nymph dropper behind it on rough water like the Blackfoot! This rod is absolutely amazing and everyone that has cast it has not just been impressed but has been shocked by it’s performance and used superlative praises to describe it’s power and extreme presentation! I LOVE THIS ROD!!

A VERY SWEET new rod that I’ve been using almost exclusively since I got back from my April Smith River trip. It’s been the perfect rod for me below Hauser and it’s been my rocket launching streamer rod below Holter - especially from the boat. If you’ve never cast a “two-handed” or “spey” rod before, not to worry, these new Helios Switch Rods are extremely light and cast like a dream with either single-handed or two handed techniques. Come down to our Craig shop and try one out and see for yourself! I LOVE THIS ROD!! (I also have the 5wt, 7wt and 8wt Switch Rods because I love them that much. You will too!
Priced at $850.00.

6- NEW Orvis Hydros 843-4 Mid-Flex 6.5 -Once you try and cast this beautiful fly rod, you’ll convince yourself that there is no other rod close to this sweet at less than $500! This is the “replacement” series for the T3’s and it’s light years ahead of those excellent rods. The Hydros series now puts Helios technology in a more affordable price range.
Priced at only $495.00!
10- Orvis Waterfowler SonicSeam Bootfoot Wader -Okay, it’s a camo product that is designed for waterfowl hunting but I’m here to tell you that this is the best cold weather wader out there today! I bought a pair for Steelheading in northern British Columbia this past October & November and walked miles in them and waded belly deep in 42 degree water and my feet never once got even remotely cold! With “normal” waders - stockingfoot or bootfoot - I would have to take a break a few times a day and get out of the water and let my feet (especially my toes) “warm” back up from numb to painful cold to just tolerably cold and then get back in the river so I could keep fishing. This season, when my friends were on the bank or in the boat “warming” up their tootsie, I was perry poking my way down the runs, getting my fly in front of more fish than those sidelined by the cold! I also do some waterfowling so the camo suits me just fine. (My buddy said that I would fit in well over in Idaho with the throngs of bait fishin‘, hook ‘em cook ‘em steelhead crowd on the Clearwater!) Priced at $349.
