III (3\/4\/5) - REEL1454","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Orvis CFO III fly reel brings pure trout fishing tradition and acoustic joy to anglers who appreciate timeless design and delicate presentation.

Its sensitive click-and-pawl mechanism delivers instantaneous startup with zero hesitation, protecting 5X, 6X, and 7X tippets when wary brown or rainbow trout make unexpected runs. An open palming rim gives you direct, tactile control over outgoing line, allowing you to feather pressure intuitively during every surge.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMachined in the United States from bar stock aluminum, the modern CFO III honors the celebrated 1971 design originally refined by legendary reel maker Stan Bogdan.

The reel features an adjustable spring-and-pawl check that easily converts between left-hand and right-hand retrieve, emitting the signature purr that has defined freshwater fly fishing for generations. A classic open frame permits fast spool changes on the water, while ventilated porting across the spool and backplate minimizes overall weight and lets wet backing dry thoroughly between outings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis preowned Orvis CFO III arrives in Like New condition, showing immaculate surfaces and crisp mechanical function that looks and feels fresh from the bench.
