Orvis Battenkill Deluxe 6' 6 5/8"
by Orvis
5/6 wt. Thought you might like to add another taper to your collection. This one is for an Orvis Battenkill Deluxe 6'-6 5/8" x 2pc x 2tip x 5/6 wt. The rod was made by Wes Jordan himself and is an impregnated rod with a cork grip where the diameter at the front is turned right down to the rod diameter and the reel seat is a standard Orvis down lock. If you plot a graph of this data you'll see two little humps in the curve typical of other Orvis rod I've checked.
