Description
The Orvis Helios 3D Black Out Fly Rod began as a supremely accurate 9’5″/287 cm 5-wt. boat rod, with superb long-range mending abilities on both reach casts and on-the-water drift manipulations straight to the indicator. Field-testing proved the Orvis Helios 3D Black Out Fly Rod is also a 5-wt. that impresses when it is time to hop a gunnel and fish backchannel sippers on foot. The product of strong collaboration, this is a high-concept rod born of a deep need from storied guides and their long conversations with our design team. Those extra five inches of the Orvis Helios 3D Black Out Fly Rod are the secret sauce, providing added lift on your back cast without feeling overwhelming, with the comparable length advantages of a 10-footer in a rod that feels more like a 9-footer. Straight up, it’s a nymphing weapon and your dream foam dry or hopper/dropper combo all-in-one. This extremely popular rod series has recently been expanded with a rod specifically for predator fishing. Made in Vermont, USA.
