Orvis Helios 3F Fly Rod

Orvis Helios 3F

With new advancements in material and taper design, Orvis has created the Helios 3F for all situations where a sensitive presentation should take precedence over maximum line speed and distance. But while the "F" stands for "Feel", most models in the Helios 3F series also perform very well at medium and long distances and are absolutely accentuated when it comes to line handling and accurate and delicate presentation. Just like the Helios 3D, we can confidently say that these are some of the best rods we have ever cast.

Orvis Helios 3F 7'6'' #3

A fine, lightweight rod with a medium-fast action. The Orvis Helios 3F 7'6'' is perfect for fishing small dry flies in small streams, but if necessary you can also present your fly accurately at medium distance.

Orvis Helios 3F 8'4'' #3

The Orvis Helios 3F 8'4'' #3 is slightly longer than the 7'6'' model and is best suited for short distances, both overhead and underhand casting. Perfect as an all-round rod for dry fly fishing on small streams.

Orvis Helios 3F 10'6'' #3

Specifically designed for all different types of Euro nymphing techniques. The Helios 3F 10'6'' #3 has a very sensitive tip that allows perfect contact with the fly. Due to its length, it can also be used for fishing small streamers when an overhead cast is not an option.

Orvis Helios 3F 8'6'' #4

A great little rod for dry flies, nymphs and small streamers. The Orvis Helios 3F 8'6'' #4 plays to its strengths best at medium distances, but also presents your fly accurately at shorter distances, with enough power to allow longer casts if required. Overall, the perfect rod for medium sized rivers or any situation where a slightly shorter rod is an advantage.
