Orvis Rod Helios 3F Fly 1044

"Fast is fine, but accuracy is everything." - Wyatt Earp
Anglers know the same from hard-won experience. In fly fishing, accuracy is everything.
No one else has ever approached rod design with the express intent of increasing accuracy.
You hear about power, sensitivity, and lifting power. What if you could have all of that plus
extreme accuracy? By strategically reinforcing the rod and increasing hoop strength we prevented
the rod from ovalizing when flexed, damping the vibration as the rod unloads. That way the line releases
with significantly reduced tip swing. Without all that noise at the tip, the line takes a truer path to the target.
Remarkably, even with the reinforcements, the swing weight is lighter than in previous Helios generations.
Problem Solved, Unmatched Accuracy, now served in two flavours:
Helios 3F - "F" is for feel in the Helios 3F. It's the rod for short to medium distances - out to 60 feet.
You'll feel every nuance of the rod when you cast.
Helios 3D - "D" is for distance with Helios 3D, your new weapon for high winds, higher line speeds and big flies.
It's for pounding big streamers with sinking lines or heaving large nymphs in a fast flowing river.
No matter which rod you choose, Helios is designed to significantly reduce the variables at the point of release,
focusing energy 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 developed.

Helios 3F 4-Weight, 10' Fly Rods offer enhanced accuracy and feel at mid-range distances.
When line control and mending are important, you want to fish a light line, and you need the accuracy to toss
a streamer up and across to a far bank, the Helios 3F 104-4 is an exceptional choice with the length you need
for mending and drift control, and the 3F feel and responsiveness to allow you to detect subtle takes.
Whether you're swinging flies in the current or nymphing the run at your feet, this rod offers a big advantage
over shorter fly rods.
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.
