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.
The 7-foot 4-weight 4-piece broke out a few years ago as one of the favorite freshwater rods in the Orvis arsenal for small stream and backcountry trout anglers. Combining its ability to pack down to fit any pack and its remarkable ability to cast accurately in the tightest spots, this little rod has captured the imagination of both eastern and western small stream anglers. This new patent pending Helios version weighs less than a pocketknife, allows precise casts into tight spots and offers wonderful tippet protection and great responsiveness. Every small stream challenge will bring a smile to your face and every fish hooked will be felt right into your soul. There is no better brookie and small stream fly rod in the world.
