The Helios 3F 5-Weight, 9-Foot Fly Rod offers enhanced accuracy but maintains the classic feel and finesse of the traditional actions. The Helios 3F 905-4 was designed to put an Adams in a teacup from 40 feet. The ultimate open water trout rod that offers pin-point accuracy in tight windows, a fine touch, and a responsiveness you can feel up to your elbow. No cast ever thrown is identical to any other cast ever thrown. The variables of caster, rod, and conditions are too great. Helios 3F was designed to significantly reduce the variables at the point of release focusing the energy of the cast to the intended target. No matter what happens behind you, the energy of the forward cast is crisply released through a tight window created by the most significant reduction in horizontal and vertical tip frequency ever conceived. It is a rifle in a world of muskets and it autocorrects the variables of the cast to the target with incomparable precision. Proudly made in Manchester, Vermont, USA.

Shop Staff Notes:  The Orvis Helios 3F 9′ 5-weight Fly Rod is probably the finest all around rod we have ever fished! This is a perfect rod for the Missouri but also an excellent tool for the Blackfoot and Smith. The 9′ rod in a 5 weight gives you more oomph than the it’s 4-wt younger sibling (we do love that rod too!) and unmatched casting control and mending control. This rod feels so comfortable to cast. It has enough reserve power to fish it with a 6 weight line if you like to fish close or want the rod to load deeper to help punch into the wind. Most of our Guides that have this rod use it for their dry fly fishing but it will huck and mend a double nymph set up and even toss a streamer with a Versileader too.  If you can only get one rod to fish for trout, this would be an excellent choice.

We also carry the more powerful Orvis Helios 3D 9′ 5-weight Fly Rod for those that like throwing bigger bugs or fishing further out on bigger water.
