Orvis Mission Switch Rod

Built in Vermont and proudly Made in the USA, the Mission two-handed fly rods are crafted using Orvis’s award-winning Helios™ rod technology, delivering exceptional performance for modern Spey, Switch, and Trout Spey fly fishing. These American-made fly rods are engineered for smooth power, effortless casting, and superior accuracy.

On the water, Mission rods feature advanced blank design that actively dampens vibrations, reducing fatigue while improving loop control and line management. The result is easier casting, cleaner presentations, and more consistent performance—whether you’re swinging flies for steelhead or casting light Scandi heads on technical trout spey water.

The Mission series includes 10 two-handed fly rod models, ranging from 11' Switch and Trout Spey rods to 13'6" full Spey rods, covering a wide range of rivers, line systems, and fishing styles. Each blank features a sleek matte black finish with high-visibility orange accents and a quick rod identifier for easy selection on the river.

Designed for durability and comfort, Mission rods incorporate composite cork in high-wear grip areas, along with premium components throughout. Each rod is finished with REC RECOIL® snake guides, a titanium stripping guide with a SiC insert, and a down-locking, self-indexing machined aluminum reel seat with a burl hardwood insert. Every rod ships in a rugged orange aluminum rod tube with a Mission-branded rod sock for safe transport and storage.

Backed by a 25-Year Guarantee, Mission two-handed fly rods are built to handle years of hard fishing while delivering refined, high-performance casting feel.
