The Orvis Helios F Fly Rod – Epic Accuracy, Powerful Delivery
Your fly-fishing best is now 4x better with the Orvis Helios F Fly Rod, a peerless finesse rod that delivers unprecedented accuracy following years of exhaustive field testing and relentless innovation. Built to satisfy those anglers chasing perfection through precision casts and performance that withstands the harshest conditions and hottest fish, the all-new Helios™ F series rods offer increased sensitivity, elevated tippet protection, and a design for game-of-inches feeding lane presentations and in-the-moment mends. With the world’s most accurate fly rod in your hands, anything is possible.
For Orvis rod designers, “over-engineered” is no dig; it’s a recognition that Helios performs far beyond the normal limits of a fly rod. The mission to raise the world standard for accuracy comes with a commitment that every performance characteristic and component of the all-new Orvis Helios F exceeds expectations.
Our experience with the Orvis Helios F fly rods here at Duranglers is that this is a daily driver fly rod. One that we will pick up to manage any duty it is called to, from fishing dry flies, mending technical nymph drifts, swinging wets or streamers, and protecting light tippet from heavy trout. The 5-weight model is a great all-around trout stick, while the 6-weight bumps up the beefiness to cast heavier rigs.
“Great anglers know, the ideal fly rod becomes an extension of your arm.
New Helios Is an Extension of Your Mind.
After years of extensive development, I can say for certain there are zero compromises with these sticks. Just maximum performance that takes the caster into complete flow-state accuracy, from eye to fly, picking targets and not just putting the shot in the box but putting it on the money. The only real excuse we all have left now is, well, fly selection.”

And Orvis can prove it. With the most significant reduction in tip displacement ever measured, hit your target with laser precision. 4x more accurate than the Helios 3, the previous industry benchmark for accuracy.
Delivering Your Fly With Confidence—On Target, Every Time
Strategic reinforcement in the rod blank increases hoop strength and minimizes vibration, leading to a radical reduction in vertical and horizontal tip displacement.
Muscle & Mettle
Increased travel distance means more lifting power when a fish runs under the boat or thrashes at the net. Fight those last moments with confidence with a rod 25% stronger than the Helios 3
