ORVIS HELIOS FOURTH GENERATION FLY ROD SERIES
“IN THE OLD DAYS, they’d say that the ideal fly rod became an extension of your arm. The new HELIOS is an extension of your mind. After two long years of extensive development, I can say for certain there are zero compromises in these sticks. Just maximum performance that take the caster into complete flow-state accuracy, from eye to fly, picking targets and not just putting the shot in the box but putting it on the money. The only real excuse we all have now is, well, fly selection.” – Shawn Combs, Orvis Design & Development Director
