Recently I broke my flyrod. I was worried because i had the trout bum model that is no longer made in that model. I was concerned about which flyrod that i was going to be receiving back. My rod was a 4wt 4pc 3.0Full Flex 7Ft. They told me that they were going to be sending me most comparible model and that they would upgrade my rod to the newer upgraded superfine series rods at no extra charge. This made me very happy. My rod cost me 375 dollars....the new superfines at almost 500 dollars.
Anyways i shipped it out priority mail on monday and received a new rod on friday. I was really impressed by the speed of the return. Unfortunately when i opened it i was disappointed in the rod they sent me. It was a 4wt 4pc 9.5Tip Flex 7'6''. I am a full flex rod fisherman and like very delicate rods for very spooky fish. I called orvis and explained this. They told me if I could get it to a UPS guy that day and send it back they would ship me the Superfine of my choice! i picked the 3wt 4pc 2.5Full Flex 7'6'' model.
Some flyfisherman will make fun of guys that are orvis diehards as iam. All i can say is that they time and time again have gone out of thier way to make me happy. Just thought you guys might like to know whats going on.
