Pushing through a gusty saltwater wind is no big deal-the Helios 3D has the power to get your fly there, and the accuracy to drop it right where you want it. The H3D 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. Increased hoop strength means reduced vibration for a consistently crisp release, because we know accuracy is paramount. The variables at the point of release to focus the energy behind every cast. Whether you’re chasing bonefish on the flats or casting streamers to the far bank, the Helios 3F offers the outstanding casting performance and responsiveness you need to land more fish.

The difference is taper and stiffness, but the design foundation of accuracy remains constant. 3D is accuracy with power at distance for pinpoint delivery of larger flies. 3F is accuracy with finesse, a dry fly angler's dream. Helios 3F and 3D each offer uncompromising purpose. The H3 brings us a fundamental shift from flex profiles to a new frontier in accuracy and purpose-driven design.

Reflect on your greatest successes and failures as an angler and the answer is clear. Making a forty-foot cast on the nose of a laid-up tarpon is fishing. Making an 80-foot cast in saltwater is prospecting. Whether it's the right drift in the feeding lane, the sightline of a cruising predator, or the right level of the water column, the difference between success and failure is often measured in inches.Īll modern fly rods are powerful, but accuracy is the new frontier in fly design. There is a famous quote by Wyatt Earp, "Fast is fine, but accuracy is everything." What anglers discover with experience is just that.
