My .02 on warranty. Very important. I have broken my Orvis 5 wt. twice in the past 12 years. Never any questions, replace or repair. My favorite rod. It had a 25 year warranty when I bought it. If you take the original investment in the rod and subtract the cost of replacing it twice, it's very economical.
I haven't had much exposure to the Reddington's but with all the praise I am hearing, I will definately look into them.
