After 50 years as the industry leader in graphite fly rods, we are celebrating a golden anniversary with the Helios™ Limited Edition dry fly rod.

To commemorate the occasion, our rod designers built a rod that will pull at the heart strings of the technical dry fly angler and showcase the accuracy, precision, and eye-catching look that Orvis graphite rods are known for. They started out with a retro-inspired, unsanded 9'5" 4 wt. Helios D blank, dressed it up with gold accents, black anodized reel seat hardware, and a hand-selected burl maple insert, and 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 50 years of graphite rod building and puts it in your hand. Limited run of 500 rods, so get one while you can.

Description of the new Helios D Fly Rods for Reference:

Your best is now 4x better with unprecedented accuracy and the backbone to deliver when you need it most. Designed and rigorously tested to perform in the most demanding conditions, the all-new Helios fly rod is the go-everywhere, fish-anything option for anglers demanding power and precision. From tight-quarter trout streams to double hauling on salt flats, the versatility is a gamechanger. With the world’s most accurate and powerful fly rod in your hands, anything is possible.

When compared to Helios 3, the previous industry benchmark for accuracy:
• 4X more accurate
• 25% more durable in extreme breakage testing
• 10% lighter swing weight

Orvis designed the Helios 4D fly rod to cast at impressive distances without sacrificing power - and it hits the mark every time. We’ve reduced the variables at the point of release to focus the energy behind every cast. Increased hoop strength means reduced vibration for a crisp release every time, because we know accuracy is paramount. The H4D rod churns out precise casts that are the stuff of legend - because it’s the pinpoint delivery of flies that takes you from a quiet day on the water to battling predator fish ripping down the flats.

Pushing through a gusty saltwater wind is no big deal - the Helios 4D has the power to get your fly there, and the accuracy to drop it right where you want it. Whatever the location, whatever the fish, the H4D is ready for it: big rivers or saltwater, bonefish or bass - those accurate drops earn more bends in the rod, it’s as simple as that. Get the most accurate fly rod in existence and land more fish on every trip.

These are some of the most accurate fly rods ever built, offering remarkable strength and the ability to place a fly where you want it at distance. The Helios 4D 11 WT is designed for light offshore and medium tarpon. When accuracy and distance are critical in putting a fly through a tight mangrove window to a laid-up tarpon, this Helios 4D 11-weight is the perfect weapon. Big permit on the flats, mahi and football tuna offshore, or gator blues and striper cows in nasty rips, this rod has what it takes. Don't ever go out there undergunned. No cast ever thrown is identical to any other. The variables of caster, rod, and conditions are too great. Helios 3D was designed to significantly reduce the variables at the point of release focusing the energy of the cast to the intended target. No matter what happens behind you, the energy of the forward cast is crisply released through a tight window created by the most significant reduction in horizontal and vertical tip frequency ever conceived. It is a rifle in a world of muskets and it autocorrects the variables of the cast to the target with incomparable precision.
