Orvis Helios D 50th Anniversary Fly Rod
Orvis Helios D 50th Anniversary Fly Rod
After 50 years as the industry leader in graphite fly rods, Orvis is celebrating a golden anniversary with the Helios™ Limited Edition dry-fly rod.
To commemorate the occasion, our rod designers built a rod that pulls at the heartstrings of the technical dry-fly angler and showcases the accuracy, precision, and eye-catching look Orvis graphite rods are known for. Starting with a retro-inspired, unsanded 9′5″ 4-wt. Helios D blank, they dressed it with gold accents, black anodized reel-seat hardware, and a hand-selected burl maple insert, then presented the whole package in a signature 50th Anniversary rod tube and sock. The length, line weight, and crisp D-series feel make this rod perfect for presenting tiny dries with laser precision—with that extra length you always want for mends and reach casts.
The Helios™ Limited Edition Fly Rod takes everything we’ve learned in five decades of graphite rod building and puts it in your hand. Limited run of 500 rods—secure yours while you can.
