- Orvis is excited to launch the next generation of Helios rods. The new Helios is not only four times more accurate than its ground-breaking predecessor, the Helios 3, but it is 25 percent stronger and 10 percent lighter in hand, as well. The result is an intuitive fly rod that is defining a new era in fly rod manufacturing.
"Helios rods are what people think of when they think of Orvis innovation and leadership in fly fishing,” said Orvis President Simon Perkins. “We had something really special with the Helios 3, and we wanted to challenge ourselves with something better. Because the team in our Rod Shop is the best in the world, the result is revolutionary.”
Conceived and built by designers, engineers and rod builders in Manchester, Vermont, the new Helios is the most advanced fly rod in fishing and an unprecedented leap forward in the industry. The new rod displays dramatically increased hoop strength and a radical reduction in rod tip displacement when casting. The result is a rod that is able to deliver a cast that is measurably more accurate than the competition, tracking four times better than the industry-leading Helios 3. It is endorsed by Orvis’s vast network of professional guides and anglers many of whom part of the official testing process across seven countries.
“The new Helios is a reimagining of what’s possible in a fly rod and its ability to deliver the best experience for an angler. Four times more accurate than the industry-benchmark H3 is not hyperbole,” said Shawn Combs, director of fishing design and development. “We’ve built the tools to quantify what’s been measured historically in our industry through feel. This rod is where instinct and innovation meet. The result is the most accurate rod in the world. We know it when we cast it, and we see it in the data.”
The Helios is available in two distinct series, Distance (D) and Finesse (F). The D-Series offers increased line speed, lifting power and stored energy and is available in a variety of sizes, from 4-weight for small stream trout to 14-weight for billfish in saltwater. The F-Series features increased sensitivity optimized for delicate presentations and tippet protection and is available in sizes ranging from 2 weight to 8 weight.

The best marketing blah blah I ever seen in the Fly fishing industry. But it works ! I want one.
Are these the rods that looks like ski poles?
Always top notch equipment!
Looks nice
You may have exceeded the price point for most with this rod!
Too bad about the butt ugly label... it could be a few micrograms lighter if it weren't there, making the swing weight even less :)
Did Orvis really drop their sponsorship to Alex aka TrippinOnTrout for the reasons he stated on his most recent video? For an American company, I'm truly disappointed in the decision to drop Alex's sponsorship just because of aspects completely unrelated to his fishing career. Disgraceful to the word freedom, honestly.
I have multiple Orvis gear, including several clearwater setups, a superfine setup, 2 fully outfitted Helios setups with mirage LT, and a multitude of Orvis accessories. The only reason I chose to upgrade to the Helios rods were because of Alex's videos. I even had plans on buying the Helios 4 outfit this coming summer. However, as things stand now, I'm done with Orvis.
I'll take a non-response from Orvis on this comment as acknowledgement of the validity of the things mentioned in Alex's video.
What a joke y’all have become
