Orvis Helios F Saltwater Fly Fishing Rod

The Orvis Helios F Saltwater Fly Fishing Rod has proven to be four times more accurate than the Helios 3, the previous industry benchmark. Since 1856, innovation has been Orvis Fly Fishing's specialty, always driven by a simple mission statement: "We can do better".

After years of exhaustive development, there are zero compromises with these rods. Only maximum performance that takes the caster to total accuracy in a state of flow, from eye to fly, the only thing left is fly selection.

Over-engineering is an understatement. For Orvis rod designers, "over-engineered" is not a hint; it's an acknowledgment that Helios performs far beyond the normal limits of a fly rod. The mission to raise the world standard of precision comes with a commitment that every performance feature and every component of the new Helios exceeds expectations.

Orvis Helios fly rods are built to satisfy anglers who seek perfection through precise casts with performance that stands up to the toughest conditions and the strongest fish. The new Orvis Helios F-series fly rods offer greater sensitivity, increased tippet protection and the design to make presentations in the fishing zone and mends at the right time. With the world's most accurate fly rod in your hands, anything is possible.

Orvis Helios is the most accurate fly rod in the world, and we can prove it. With the most significant reduction in tip displacement ever measured, hit your target with laser precision.

Cast your fly with confidence, always on target. Strategic reinforcement in the rod blank increases core strength and minimizes vibration, leading to a radical reduction in tip displacement.

Muscle and mettle. More travel distance means more lifting power when a fish runs under the boat or flails in the net. Fight those last moments with confidence.

Less swing weight without the risk of breakage. A 10% reduction in swing weight equals a crisp, balanced feel that's virtually effortless to cast all day long without fatigue.
