I have a 10ft. Western2 and a couple of other Orvis rods and I've certainly had no trouble with them breaking!
I find a lot of orvis rods to be softer in action that many contemporary rods but what I will say about Orvis is that their customer service is second to none. If you ever have a problem with an Orvis item it is replaced rapidly and without question or cost.

I too have a Greys M2, lovely rod, but I'm hot for Sharpes Plus 3's at the moment. I've just bought the 14' six piece version and I chuffed to bits with it. If the 10' rods are anything near the quality of the 14' then my Hardy Gems going it the bin. I got mine brand new for £145 delivered to my front door of Ebay. Look out for HELPFULHARRY on Ebay.........................

I have a 10ft 8# western2 i think it is a fantastic little rod... I would also say for the money, i highly recommend them. Pop over 1 day and have a cast if you want, im only down the road from you, a try before you buy if you like...
