Incredible. What amazing rods and craftsmanship. The test at the end was jaw dropping.

Wow. Im amazed. This guy really knows his sh.. what a master. I have never owned an Orvis rod, now I want one.

Praise Be To Our Lord And Savior Tom Rosenbauer!

That was fun. I always go to Orvis and the fly fishing museum when I'm up that way. Thanks.

Absolutely fantastic video. Thanks for sharing.

I love airports 😂 when I was a kid in the 90s my mom would drop me off at the airport and I would spend the day taking pictures. This was before 9/11 so it was much easier. I even worked in airfield management in the air force 😂

Thanks Orvis for the Recon repair! Rod looks great.. cant wait to try it out.

It’s impossible not to like Tom i did a school project on him last year

I love the factory tours!! Orvis replaced a tip on my super fine 2wt, couldn’t tell the difference from the original tip on that delicate stick!!!

That was absolutely an amazing video !

Hey Cheech and crew! Awesome Thanks for visiting Vermont The Barre Vermonter BS

So cool. I just bought a Winston Air 2 and loved that video. Would be really cool to see all the major US brands places that are making stuff in the US.

Great look into rod making. Thank you.

It’s not easy to make “how it’s made” videos fun, but this crew could make anything fun. Cool vid.

This was very cool. I learned a lot. Makes me love my Recon even more.

Fantastic video !!! Thanks for sharing.

Dude, JFK is right on Jamaica Bay which has phenomenal striped bass and bluefish fishing.

Excellent video guys! But give me a smooth casting Winston from those boys up in Twin Bridges every day!

Thanks Cheech and Curtis. I really enjoyed the video. I have several Orvis Rods but not a Helius but after seeing this I may have to consider one, and sell off my off brand models, even though I am not a big fan of the white label.. lol Thanks again and enjoy the videos and the store. Tight Lines

Nice video, good to see where my new SFG came from. Tenkara rules😁

1st. Thank you for all you do =) love the vids, love the store!!

Orvis should bring back Superfine graphite series. Especially, the 7'6" 1wt.

Awsome

Me at the beginning of the video: man how cool would it be if Tom Rosenbauer was there. Me a few minutes in: Sweet tender mercy....

2:39 are you guys triplets, great video

Praise be to Tom 🙏

Have had my Helios 3D for over 2 years now and have caught a lot of trout on it. Orvis surpassed my expectations with that rod 🎣🐟

Could I have the broken one and then file a warranty claim? Seriously, it was cool to see how a quality rod is made. You guys should follow up with a tour of an "over seas" rod factory.

What I see here is that there is a hell of a lot of work that goes into making a fly rod. I never considered the Orvis Helios because of that god-awful white sticker. I just have to rethink that. Tom is not a big guy, my guess is his family tree comes from the East of Poland. I am not a big guy either and I am taller than the legend. I interviewed for a Job with him, I thought it when well, never heard another word, no matter a week and a half later got an offer to go up to Alaska to fly so it all worked out. I guessed when I said that the Scott G2 8' 2wt was a better rod than the Orvis 7'9" 2wt may have had some effect on it. No matter, I got a decade of steady year-long flying out of it, then I when seasonal till I retired last year. Given a choice, I still think I would rather go fish with Curtis but that is another issue.

How long are you guys in VT, I live really close and know some great spots around there

Tenkara slander is the best

Sean and Brigham look like theyre brothers

Stick figure 😎😎😎

When Im been saving for 2 years for a orvis helios and not there set, and them breaking it

I’ve sent my h3 back twice believe me they break

Cheech, did you give the guy from Orvis that rabbit hat?

whys it take me like 5 months for a tip replacement though

Wait his name is Brigham. That's the most Utah thing I've ever heard

next time save yourself a day and fly into Albany. You literally fly past manch to drive back to manch.

Thanks! Interesting video. Hate those ugly Orvis white rod labels!

that god damn white label is terrible. and its gonna be on the H4 as well. Orvis is really pigeon holing themselves with that graphic.
