Today I recieved in the mail my replacement rod after splintering and sending back my Orvis Silver Label TL. They sent me a Orvis TLS Power Matrix in it's place. What a great warranty they have backing their rods. So tomorrow I will take it out and give it a go. It's the 9ft 5wt, mid flex 6.0. I sent a two piece in and that's what I got back. Getting ready for the Beaver Kill trip Friday, quick one dayer, up and back.
