Gene L 0 Report post Posted February 3 I love CFO reels. Here's a history of the reels I copied from the N American Fly Fishing forum; The Rusty Spinner: History of the Orvis C.F.O. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flyflinger 0 Report post Posted February 3 Thanks, interesting reading! I happen to have one of the 1994 Introductory CFO III Disc reels, with the serial number. It is an unusual color of green . . . "1994 The CFO III disc is introduced. These reels were green with silver components, and should not be confused with their olive, spring and pawl counterparts. The first 2000 of these models were introductory editions. Each of the introductory reels was individually numbered." Orvis reels have always been among my top favorites. Good dependable reels, especially for the money. Once made in England, I believe the current CFO is made in the US. Regards, Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
