Pflueger Medalist size comparison to Orvis Madison by Pflueger

Post by forge »

Looking at past postings I see that the Orvis Madison 4/5 made by Pflueger was the same as the 1492 Pflueger Medalist
Also I see that the Orvis Madison 6/7 made by Pflueger was the same as the 1494 Pflueger Medalist
What about the Orvis Madison 8 & 9 made by Pflueger? Were they the same as the 1495 & 1496 Pflueger Medalist???

Not the 1496, which was a prewar model, but yes, the 1495
here's a good post on FFR with Madison paper - https://fiberglassflyrodders.com/forum/ ... =4&t=71568
The Madison 9 is based on Medalist 1495-1/2 - same diameter, wider frame
