The new Helios fly rod is so far ahead of all other fly rods it skips generations in how a fly rod should feel, cast, and fish. This rod is so sublimely light, incredibly responsive, deadly accurate, and just plain easy and enjoyable to cast that to compare it to other graphite rods is like comparing graphite to bamboo. There is no comparison.
Extra length for improved line control and roll casting. Great Lakes and summer steelhead fisherman's dream. Ice cleans out of Recoil guides quickly and easily. A real plus when steelheading or trout fishing in cold conditions.
