Orvis Helios 2 586-4 - ROD1194

The Orvis Helios 2 586-4 Mid Flex is designed as the ultimate crossover tool for trout anglers who value versatility and precision on the water. This 8'6" configuration offers a slightly shorter profile than standard 9' rods, making it ideal for navigating tighter technical streams or achieving pinpoint accuracy during delicate dry fly hatches. Its mid flex action provides a smooth, soulful casting stroke that excels at protecting light tippets while maintaining enough backbone to handle light nymph rigs or small streamers when conditions change.

Orvis engineered the Helios 2 series using high modulus graphite and a proprietary resin system to significantly reduce swing weight and increase tip strength. The construction results in a rod that is remarkably light in the hand and tracks exceptionally straight during the casting cycle for improved accuracy. This model features premium components including a carbon fiber insert reel seat and hard chrome snake guides that ensure long term durability and smooth line travel in both freshwater and light saltwater environments.

This pre-owned fly rod is in Good condition and shows signs of cosmetic wear consistent with normal use on the river. There are minor surface scratches and slight cork darkening, but the blank integrity remains fully intact and the ferrules seat securely. Choosing this pre-owned Helios 2 through Recast Fly Fishing allows you to own a legendary performance rod at a significant savings compared to current flagship prices.
