That is really exceptional of Orvis! Thanks for sharing.

It is a shame that you can't set anything down for five minutes anymore without it disappearing!

I have always considered Orvis to be little elitist, although I own one of there reels on my salmon rig. This makes me like them a little more.

Which Hydros? I know there was a Trident 3 wt. back in the days that snapped pretty easy. A taper miss calculation.
