The all new Orvis Helios F perfectly embodies the famous Wyatt Earp quote: "Fast is fine, but accuracy is final". Engineered with precision and innovation, the Helios F surpasses its predecessors with remarkable advancements tailored to elevate your fly fishing experience. The all new Helios boasts a staggering 4x improvement in accuracy over the Helios 3. Orvis engineers tackled the challenge of tip displacement head-on, ensuring your casts remain true and precise. By significantly enhancing the hoop strength of the rod blank and minimizing vibrations, tip displacement becomes a thing of the past, allowing for unparalleled casting accuracy. Not stopping there, the Helios also offers an impressive 25% increase in strength and durability, a feat achieved through meticulous analysis of decades of rod-building data; allowing you to fish confidently knowing your rod can withstand the toughest of challenges, and provide years of reliable performance. Crafted with the angler in mind, the new Helios features a 10% lighter swing weight, providing a crisp and balanced feel with every cast.

Whether you're reaching for distance or finesse, the Helios delivers with distinct Distance (D) and Finesse (F) Series. The Distance Series offers heightened line speed and lifting power, while the Finesse Series prioritizes sensitivity and tippet protection, catering to a diverse range of fly fishing applications. With 29 all-new Helios models, each tailored for specific fishing scenarios including dry flies, nymphing, Euro-nymphing, small streams, saltwater, and bluewater, there's a Helios for every angler.

Meticulous and exhaustive field testing conducted by 20 professional anglers across 7 different countries resulted in rave reviews and thousands of landed fish from brown trout to billfish. Nymphing guru George Daniel had this to say: "The rod is smooth, feels incredibly light in hand, and places the fly where I want with little effort.". Anita Coulton further commented on the euro acumen of the 10' 0" 3 wt Helios F saying: "The 10' 3 wt Helios has the perfect balance of sensitivity and power. With Euro nymphing, pinpoint accuracy is crucial. The new Helios has impressive recovery, which allows for precise fly placement when nymphing.". Tuck Scott tested the small stream ability of the Helios F and concluded: "I was able to adjust the cast to let me make a softer back cast to keep the line above the grass, then tighten it up on the forward cast in a creek that is only about 5 feet wide. That type of ability in a rod is almost like it is thinking for you...Watching others, of varying casting levels, with this rod stands out because I can see with the tool it is how it benefits all casters by helping them feel what is available in the rod. The intuitive nature of this rod is almost supernatural!".
