It’s a lot more accurate at longer distances than the Helios 2 was (and it was no slouch). Orvis reworked its popular Helios fly rod to reflect this simple philosophy and the end result is the Helios 3 Fly Rod.

Orvis Helios 3D and 3F Fly Rods The H3 brings us a fundamental shift from flex profiles to a new frontier in accuracy and purpose-driven design. Photo: A.
