[font "Comic Sans MS"][black][size 4]Orvis has been shaking things up lately, but here is what I have.[/size][/black][/font]
[font "Comic Sans MS"][black][size 4]This is one of the first ONE OUNCE. It is a 2 piece 7' with the finish that you can feel the wrapping on it is also a Full Flex 4.5 and Gray with Burgundy Wraps:[/size][/black][/font]
[font "Comic Sans MS"][black][size 4] [inline "ONE OZ 3 400.jpg"][/size][/black][/font]
[font "Comic Sans MS"][size 4]The "Superfine Series" was much like this one ounce in the ruff blank, but they did have up locking reel seat instead of the rings.[/size][/font]
[font "Comic Sans MS"][size 4]They later came out with the RED "Superfines" with the up-locking reel seat in black the same as the T3. These were the same blanks but a different finish and hardware.[/size][/font]
[font "Comic Sans MS"][size 4]This is the popular 7'9" two piece Far and Fine "Superfine" which is no longer made (in a two piece anyway). It is a 5.5 Full Flex. It was not yet called the "Trout Bum".[/size][/font]
[font "Comic Sans MS"][size 4][/size][/font]
[inline "SUPERFINE 3 400.jpg"]
[font "Comic Sans MS"][black][size 4]That same year they came out with the "RED" four piece "Superfine" in a 7' four weight with a Full Flex 3.0 (I think to soften it up with the multipule pieces). THIS "ROD" was called the "Trout Bum" which they made a series of light weight 4 piece rods and did away with the ONE OUNCE (except that 2 wt.). Still go by "Superfine" though.[/size][/black][/font]
[font "Comic Sans MS"][black][size 4]Here is one of the first "Trout Bums" 7' 4 wt.[/size][/black][/font]
