The new patent pending Helios is so innovative and, frankly, so far ahead of all other fly rods it skips generations in how a fly rod should feel, cast, and fish. It is so sublimely light, incredibly responsive, deadly accurate, and just plain easy and enjoyable to cast that to compare it to other graphite fly rods is like comparing graphite to bamboo. There is no comparison. The Helios is that good. And everyone is noticing.
A fast-action Tip-Flex to handle any size trout, steelhead, or warm water species. The fly rod of choice for streamer fishermen. Ice cleans out of Recoil guides quickly and easily. A real plus when steelheading or trout fishing in cold conditions.
