To celebrate the 50th anniversary of the timeless, ventilated-port design first patented by Charles Fredrick Orvis in 1874 and brought back to life by Stan Bogdan in 1971, we’re offering a limited run of our legendary C.F.O. III reel.
An exact replica of the original, only 165 50th-anniversary models have been created, each in a handsome gold color with silver accents. Every reel is hand-numbered for your records, thus proving how rare this highly collectible design stands to be. We do not expect inventory to last long. Machined out of 6061 bar-stock aluminum with type 2 anodizing to the same exacting tolerance as the timeless original. Featuring an easy conversion from left- to right-hand retrieve and a strong check with that unmistakable click-and-pawl growl, the reel looks fantastic on display and extremely tempting to actually fish.
Handmade in USA.
