The fourth generation Helios has arrived. Scientifically proven to be 4X more accurate than Helios-3 and up to 16X more accurate than the competition. Up to 10% lighter swing weight than Helios-3 and 25% stronger. 23 rounds of prototyping and two years of field testing by 20 professionals in 9 states and 7 countries provided input. HELIOS fly rods are designed with the primary purpose of transferring casting energy into accuracy.
Helios F Models offer accuracy with effortless finesse, and sneaky power in the butt for when you need a little bit extra for distance or dealing with wind. A dry fly anglers dream.
Helios D Models bump up the power, recovery and line speed for distance, with no compromise to accuracy. Expect pinpoint delivery of larger flies in any conditions. F-Model Blanks are Deep-Green, D-Model Blanks are Black, equipped with Titanium Recoil guides and proprietary anodized aluminum reel seats. Burled hardwood insert on the freshwater (non fighting butt) sizes. Made in Manchester, VT. Orvis 25-Year Rod Guarantee.
It is a beautiful rod, and cast my Rio TT WF6F very nicely, BUT! I love my old Hardy Marquis reels. The reel seat on the the current Orvis rods seems nice but it isn't made for any reel. The reel foot must have specific dimensions to fit snuggly. My reel actually fell off in the river (luckily in about 10" of water). A single locking nut is all that is on the reel seat.
