Orvis Helios D Fly Rod

The incredible new Helios is 4X more accurate than Helios 3! The designers solved the problem of tip displacement. When the energy of the forward cast is released, it can cause the rod tip to wobble around the horizontal and vertical axes—reducing the accuracy of the cast. The new Helios displays dramatically increased hoop strength and minimized vibration along the blank, leading to a radical reduction of tip displacement. The result is a precise, smooth energy transfer from your hand to the fly and laser-like precision. This new design leaves the competitors far behind. The Helios D series now offers increased line speed, lifting power, and a deep reserve of stored energy.
