We set out on an adventure to make the world's lightest fly fishing rod. Along the way, we also made the world's best.
This is the mid-flex version of the classic 8-foot 4-inch 3-weight dry
fly rod. The simple difference is where the rod is designed to bend?the
mid-flex offers a bit more of a traditional feel. The length offers the
casting control of a medium-length rod, but is still long enough to
allow excellent reach for mending line. The 3-weight handles any size
dry fly and allows you to drop a fly with delicacy and precision in just
the right place. Helios is by far the most remarkable advance in
graphite technology, offering effortless casts, startling accuracy, and
presentations that are sure to improve your efficiency, yet this fly
fishing rod has more than enough strength to handle big broad-shouldered
trout. If dry flies are your passion, this rod will be the love of your
life.
The perfect fly rod for fishing small streams. Extreme accuracy. Lightest weight.
