The All-New Helios™
It’s Where Accuracy Comes Alive.
The culmination of a seven-year quest to achieve precision beyond all previous limits of your imagination. Proven four times more accurate than Helios 3, the previous industry benchmark.
“Great anglers know, the ideal fly rod becomes an extension of your arm.
New Helios Is an Extension of Your Mind.
After years in extensive development, I can say for certain there are zero compromises with these sticks. Just maximum performance that take the caster into complete flow-state accuracy, from eye to fly, picking targets and not just putting the shot in the box but putting it on the money.”
— Shawn Combs, Design & Development Director
Over-Engineered Is an Understatement
For Orvis rod designers, “over-engineered” is no dig; it’s a recognition that Helios performs far beyond the normal limits of a fly rod. Our mission to raise the world standard for accuracy comes with a commitment that every performance characteristic and component of the all-new Helios exceeds expectations.

Delivering Your Fly With Confidence—On Target, Every Time
Strategic reinforcement in the rod blank increases hoop strength and minimizes vibration, leading to a radical reduction in tip displacement.
Muscle & Mettle
Increased travel distance means more lifting power when a fish runs under the boat or thrashes at the net. Fight those last moments with confidence.
25% STRONGER THAN HELIOS 3
“Very powerful and strong for such a light rod. I pulled on some big tarpon, striped marlin, giant trevally, grouper, snapper, and it performed great. In some cases, I tried to break it and did not.”
