Orvis Helios 3F 9' 4wt

Our Thoughts:

The 9' 4wt Orvis Helios 3F is one of our favorite lighter do-all rods. The rod has a softer tip which allows for easy loading and casting in all conditions. It has a great action that perfectly presents dry flies, light nymph rigs, and a great overall rod for smaller alpine lakes. 

Here's What Orvis Has To Say:

Helios 3F 4-Weight, 9' Fly Rods offer enhanced accuracy and feel at mid-range distances. The Helios 3F 904-4 is for those who love light-line fishing on big water. Whether western rivers or big still waters, the 3F 904-4 can present dry flies with the delicacy of a natural, throw streamers to a cut bank with deadly accuracy, and has the reach, feel, and control to handle light nymphing rigs. A remarkable all-around trout rod that allows you to cover a lot of water, but do it with the enhanced accuracy and precision that ultimately is the key to success. 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.
