Lighter. Tougher. Stronger.
The baton has been passed to the next generation of fly rods. True
to our commitment to research and innovation, Orvis is pleased to
announce a breakthrough in Carbon Fiber Technology.
The T3 is our next-generation rod program, leveraging technology heretofore
used only in the aerospace and defense industries. With this technology,
we are able to control materials in ways that would have been unthinkable
just a few short years ago. The look and feel make the T3 unique and,
the laserlike accuracy makes it the highest-caliber rod in the world.

T3 Features
-
New compound taper formulas for every T3 rod take full advantage
of cutting-edge high-modulus carbon fiber technologies.
-
Innovative reel seats with single-piece uplocking hardware.
End caps rotate to quickly and securely lock the reel in place.
Saltwater butt can be removed for cleaning.
-
Elegant, functional reel seat components on the freshwater
reel seat feature nickel silver hardware and stabilized Amboina
wood insert. Corrosion-proof saltwater reel seat features light,
strong 6061 anodized aluminum hardware that is Teflon® coated
for extra protection.
-
Highest quality, extra-flora grade cork grips are a redesigned
ergonomic shape to reduce casting fatigue.
Performance in Every Fiber
What separates the T3 from all other rods is the way in which Orvis
employs thermoplastic-enriched thermoset resins in the graphite
matrix. At the end of a process that employs extreme heat and pressure,
each graphite fiber is wrapped in a protective, strengthening sheath
(A). The result is a fiber that is more impact resistant, tougher,
and stronger than any other graphite fiber/resin combination.
This allows Orvis to use a higher-performance high-modulus graphite
that offers more stiffness with less weight (B). Nick your rod with
a weighted conehead streamer on the backcast and you’ll understand
why toughness matters. The use of high-modulus materials gives the
power-generating butt section of every T3 incredible strength, adding
fish-fighting muscle, increasing casting range, and maximizing wind-cutting
power. The result is a powerful rod with the sensitivity to enhance
line control and accuracy.
