Sold – Orvis Helios 3D 690-4 - ROD1144

The Orvis Helios 3D 690-4 is engineered for the angler who demands power and precision in challenging conditions. Designed as the Distance model in the Helios 3 series, this fast action rod generates high line speeds to punch heavy streamers and nymph rigs through stiff headwinds. The 9 foot 6 weight configuration serves as a versatile workhorse for larger water, offering the backbone necessary to fight heavy trout and bass while remaining light enough for all day casting.

Orvis built this rod to eliminate the structural vibrations that kill accuracy, resulting in a blank that tracks exceptionally straight. By utilizing advanced materials to dampen tip oscillation, the rod ensures that energy is transferred directly to the line for laser sharp loops at long range. The matte black finish and midnight anodized reel seat give the rod a stealthy, modern aesthetic that matches its high-performance engineering.

This rod is in Great condition and features a pristine blank that is free of blemishes. The only cosmetic issue preventing a Like New rating is a slightly darkened cork handle resulting from normal use, representing significant value for the practical angler. Recast Fly Fishing has carefully inspected this gear to ensure it meets our high standards for quality and performance.
