ZG Helios™ 905-4 Tip 9.5 Fly Rod

Orvis ZG Helios Fly Rod. 9', 4-piece, Tip-Flex 9.5 fly rod for 5-wt. line, 2 3/8 oz.

Orvis set out on an adventure to make the world's lightest graphite fly rod. Along the way, they also made the world's best.

Helios technology--with its incredible power-to-weight ratio--offers a new version of the 9-foot-5-weight fly rod with performance characteristics that are astounding. It feels like a 3-weight and yet has the ability to throw long casts in the wind across big water and fight big fish like no other 5-weight on the market. With its modern Tip Flex action, this rod is the gold standard by which all other trout rods will be measured. If you haven't cast this rod yet, make sure you do, as its performance can only be appreciated in use. The fast-action Tip-Flex is the go-to rod for big water and big trout.
