“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.”
— Shawn Combs, Design & Development Director
