I was recently the high bidder on an Orvis TLS Power Matrix 8’6” 4pc. MID 7.0 5wt. rod. When I got home I noticed the pieces didn’t seem to “fit” together properly – there appears to be a half inch gap between all pieces. When I contacted the shop owner who donated the rod, he said that this is something that Orvis does, and that over time the pieces will wear and come together to “look” right. I have fished this rod and didn’t notice anything different from my other rods other than the “looks”.
Has anyone else experienced this with their Orvis rods?
