Title: Orvis Encounter II Fly Reel: Found One in the USA!
Post by: Darren Kitney on 02/10/2018 at 15:30

Hi, does anyone have an Orvis Encounter II fly reel for sale? It comes as part of a kit and cannot be bought separately. I have several spare spools and would like another reel to complete my outfit. Any help appreciated. Thank you.

It used to be sold separately, I bought the IV version for mucking about in the salt. Its now used for streamer fishing.  Last one I saw for sale was through Uttings, but they are listing them as unavailable now.

There is one on ebay just now, although is seems expensive.

I think the chap is taking the....well...you know.

They do come up on ebay, normally about £30 or so. I "think" the retail on them was £54. I got mine from Orvis in Banchory.
