由 Hans Stephenson The ORVIS CFO III fly fishing reel in black with a body only configuration is a classic, lightweight reel designed for freshwater fly fishing. Here are the key details:
ORVIS CFO III (Black, Body Only)
– Size: CFO III (typically balances well with 3-5 weight rods).
– Color: Matte black anodized finish.
– Construction: Fully machined aluminum for durability.
– Drag System: Smooth, spring-and-pawl click drag (traditional design).
– Spool: Quick-change spool (body-only means no spare spool included).
– Weight: ~3.5 oz (varies slightly by model year).
– Line Capacity: Designed for DT or WF 3-5 weight lines + backing.
– Classic Design: Inspired by the original Hardy-made CFO reels (minimalist, elegant).
Notes:
– “Body Only” means you’re purchasing just the reel frame/spool (no extra spool or case unless specified).
– The CFO III is ideal for small-stream trout fishing or light saltwater use (check drag for stronger fish).
– ORVIS may have updated the model; verify specs if buying used/vintage.
Where to Find It:
– Check ORVIS’s official website (discontinued models may appear in “Clearance”).
– eBay, Fly Fishing Forums, or Reel Traders (used/vintage options).
– Amazon or Specialty Retailers (if still in stock).
