This is from an Orvis 6 1/2 foot 5 weight three piece rod. It was recently aquired by a friend. The rod has a very pleasant, moderate action. I don't know the model number, but the serial number indicates it was built in 1952. The sections are 26 1/2 inches long, so it makes a nice 3 piece pack rod. Tolerances and general craftsmanship are very good. 0 - .058 5 - .072 10 - .080 15 - .092 20 - .118 25 - .132 30 - .146 35 - .165 40 - .180 45 - .195 50 - .210 55 - .230 60 - .245 65 - .270 70 - .285 ( est.) 75 - .290 ( est. ) 78 - .300 ( est. )
