From RRP $389.99

Instead of the term ‘entry level’, Orvis prefer to describe the new Encounter fly fishing rod outfits as ‘affordable awesomeness’.  Built for the hardcore angler, yet priced with frugality in mind, the Encounter rod series combines state-of-the-art rod design with a smooth, crisp performance packaged with a large arbor Encounter reel, weight-forward floating line, backing, and leader. If, by any means, the rod is deemed defective by the Orvis Rod Shop, they will be happy to replace it.
