A memorable gift of a lifetime, the Helios is the most raved about fly rod in years. Give one of just 250 Limited First-Edition fly rods made in each select Helios model for 2007. The ground-breaking Helios is the lightest fly rod out there, and the most talked-about fly rod of 2007. Only our next-generation of exclusive thermoset thermosplastic resin technology combined with an all-new steeper taper can create a fly rod so light yet strong enough to battle big fish and to handle hard fishing. Its superlight weight lets you fish harder longer. Woven carbon reel seat. Recoil guides to resist breakage. Handsome woven carbon fiber fly rod tube. We love this thing! It is easily the best casting rod Orvis has ever made. The limited edition tip flex is for controlled, experienced casters. You can really rip the line with this rod, and it has great feel (more than any other Orvis series we have tried in the past). They will have a more forgiving mid flex (6.5) rating coming later next year for more novice or slower stroke casters.
