Orvis set out on an adventure to make the world's lightest travel fly rod. Along the way, they also made the world's best. The new Helios travel fly rod is 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. Powerful, fast-action tip-flex travel fly rod for permit and baby tarpon. Carries right onto plane. Ice cleans out of Recoil guides quickly and easily. A real plus when steelheading or trout fishing in cold conditions.
