Description
The Orvis Helios 3F Black Out Fly Rod four-piece, 11′ 3-wt. Euro-nymphing rod, is the latest development in fly rod design. A supremely accurate 11’/330 cm rod with the swing weight of a 10 footer, it’s got the unreal sensitivity to telegraph the exact number of times your nymphs kiss gravel. Translation: Fishing the Orvis Helios 3F Black Out Fly Rod means significantly less missed strikes and more fish to hand. Note the 11’/3.30 meter length— those extra 6 inches/15 cm (compared with a 10’6”/315 cm fly rod) are crucial for intuitive drift control in extremely complex current seams, with a softer tip to protect even the finest tippets. The product of strong collaboration, this is a high-concept fly rod born of a deep need from storied guides and their long conversations with our design team, and living proof our designers are perfecting rod development in lock-step with insightful anglers pushing the technique toward new territory. Made in Vermont.
