Built for the hardcore angler, yet priced with frugality in mind, the Encounter rod series combines state-of-the-art rod design with smooth, crisp performance, packaged with a large-arbour Encounter reel, weight-forward floating line, backing and leader. The Encounter series rods are exempt from the Orvis standard 25-year guarantee, but do come with a limited warranty against defects in the original workmanship.
