Meet the Helios series from Orvis—our most advanced fly rods ever, designed for anglers who refuse to compromise on performance. Whether you’re making pinpoint casts in tight alpine streams or battling hard-pulling saltwater species on open flats, Helios rods deliver elite-level precision, strength, and versatility in every situation.
Representing the pinnacle of modern fly rod design, the new-generation Helios combines more than 150 years of fly-fishing expertise with the very latest in carbon fibre technology. The result is a rod that is lighter, stronger, and more responsive than anything we’ve built before—offering effortless power and control in even the most challenging fishing environments.
At the core of every Helios fly rod is advanced high-modulus carbon fibre construction, engineered for ultra-low swing weight and maximised energy transfer. This translates into smooth, accurate casting, reduced fatigue, and the strength to handle aggressive fish—whether you’re on a windswept coast or deep in the backcountry.
Built for All Waters, Designed for Every Angler
The Helios series offers a comprehensive range of rod weights and lengths, so you can choose the perfect setup for your fishing style, target species, and environment. Whether you prefer delicate dry fly presentations or powerful streamer casts, there’s a Helios rod to match your ambition.
Helios Finesse (F): Designed for precision casting on small rivers and spring creeks, the F model is perfect for subtle presentations, fine tippets, and technical waters where stealth matters.
Helios Distance (D): Engineered for speed, stability, and maximum line control, the D model is your go-to rod for throwing long, accurate casts in windy or open-water conditions—ideal for saltwater or large river fishing.
Each rod in the Helios lineup has been rigorously field-tested by Orvis ambassadors, guides, and professional anglers across the globe.
