Orvis Helios 2 1090-4 - ROD1083

Designed for serious saltwater and big-game pursuits, the Orvis Helios 2 1090-4 is a fast-action 10-weight built to deliver tight loops, high line speed, and lifting power when it counts. Whether you're targeting tarpon, permit, musky, or heavy freshwater species, this rod excels in wind, distance casting, and aggressive strip sets.

Handcrafted in Vermont, the Helios 2 features Orvis’s proprietary ESP technology—a unidirectional graphite scrim with thermoplastic resin that boosts strength and reduces swing weight. The result is a rod that tracks true, recovers fast, and protects tippet under load. Crushproof REC Recoil guides, a woven graphite saltwater reel seat, and super-grade cork round out the premium build.

This pre-owned Helios 2 is in Great condition with only minor cosmetic wear. Ferrules seat cleanly, guides are intact, and the rod includes its original tube and sock. Save hundreds vs. new and own one of Orvis’s most acclaimed saltwater fly rods.
