The six-piece Clearwater is the travel version — same Helios-taper blank and same 25-year guarantee as the standard Clearwater, broken into six sections so it fits in a carry-on, a backpack, or behind the seat of a truck.
Currently sold out in all sizes. Call the shop and we will check availability with Orvis — travel rods move in and out of stock unpredictably, and we can usually get one in faster than you would expect.
