Orvis set out on an adventure to make the world’s lightest fly rod. Along the way, they also made one of the world’s best.
The new Helios is so innovative and, frankly, so far ahead of all other fly rods it skips generations in how a fly rod should feel, cast, and fish. It is so sublimely light, incredibly responsive, deadly accurate, and just plain easy and enjoyable to cast that to compare it to other graphite rods is like comparing graphite to bamboo. There is no comparison. The Helios is that good. And everyone is noticing. * This is what it says in their catalog at least.
Really an excellent flyrod. Extreme accuracy. Lightest weight. Absolutely gorgeous!!!!
This is something folks....definitely the best fly rod Orvis has ever made.
Winner of 6 prestigious awards as of the 2009 season: Field and Stream Best of the Best, MidCurrent Best of Show, Fly Rod and Reel Kudo award, Wall Street Journal Smart Money, Fly Fish America's Editor's Choice and Gray's Best.
