“Great anglers know, the ideal fly rod becomes an extension of your arm.
New Helios Is an Extension of Your Mind.
After years in extensive development, I can say for certain there are zero compromises with these sticks. Just maximum performance that take the caster into complete flow-state accuracy, from eye to fly, picking targets and not just putting the shot in the box but putting it on the money. The only real excuse we all have left now is, well, fly selection.”

The Most Accurate Fly Rod in the World
And we can prove it. With the most significant reduction in tip displacement ever measured, hit your target with laser precision.
Delivering Your Fly With Confidence—On Target, Every Time
Strategic reinforcement in the rod blank increases hoop strength and minimizes vibration, leading to a radical reduction in tip displacement.
Muscle & Mettle
Increased travel distance means more lifting power when a fish runs under the boat or thrashes at the net. Fight those last moments with confidence.
Distance & Finesse — A Quiver of Options in Two Series
