Orvis Helios D and F Fly Rod Product Overview

Each Orvis fly-fishing rod in the new Helios series is available in two configurations: D (Distance) and F (Finesse). The Helios D rods are meant to help you cast big flies long distances in tough conditions on big water, whereas the F models offer precision, touch, and feel for those situations when everything needs to be delicate and stealthy. No matter what species you’re after or what kind of water you’re fishing, there’s a 4th generation Helios fly rod designed to help you achieve your highest level as an angler.
So, for instance, if you’re planning to float the Yellowstone in the early season, chucking articulated streamers for monster browns, you’ll want the power of a 6-weight or 7-weight Helios D. You’ll be able to bang the banks all day, fighting the wind, without suffering from fatigue. And when you do connect with that 24-inch bruiser, you’ll have the power to turn its head when necessary. Plus, you won’t have to worry when the fish goes nuts boatside because the durability of the Helios D fly rods is astonishing.
For casting size 20 PMDs on Depuy’s Spring Creek, you’ll need a Helios F to lay those tiny flies lightly on the surface just upstream of that 20-inch rainbow finning between two weedbeds, in 6 inches of water. The incredible accuracy of the 4th generation Helios F fly rods will help you present a fly in the narrowest feeding windows or along the tightest seams.
These same comparisons hold true, whether you’re casting to trout, bonefish, muskies, or tarpon. Both the Helios D and F fly rods offer ultimate accuracy and durability, so you’re not sacrificing performance in any way. Pick the stick that serves your purpose, and you’ll be blown away by the performance. From the lightest 2-weight to the beefiest big-game models, we’ve got you covered.
