What happened to the 4 and 5 weight Superfine Glass? Although a lot of rods are out of stock, they aren't listed as not available, they're not even listed as a model anymore.

Maybe Orvis is coming with a new model?

Hello, I spoke to Orvis several weeks ago about the SFG 4 and 5 wts. The person I spoke to said they weren’t discontinued just put on hold due to the popularity of the Helios 3 series. He said the sales of the H 3 series is so brisk all the rod shop’s focus is on these rods and did not know when the SFG 4 and 5 wts. would be available.

If your looking for a complete rod and not a blank then there are plenty available online at fly shops and eBay.

That's believable, a lot of rods are showing not in stock, but what's weird is the fact those models are completely removed from the website when others just show a 5 month backorder.

I have an Orvis gift card and was hoping to get something just a bump or two stouter than my 3wt Scott.

With sourcing from multiple suppliers, the ability to list a backorder varies. Essentially, no date certain, no backorders

If you have a gift card, just call around and find a Orvis store that has one. They’ll take it. They will ship directly to you and from my experience they usually waive shipping for rod or reel purchases. I’ve done it a bunch of times for stuff that is out of stock online. I just got another CFO II this way and they haven’t been on the website in a year. Great customer service!

Thanks for all of the heads up. Got really busy there for a few days. I may be postponing an orvis rod and getting a reel instead, I just found out a new F series was released.
