Orvis Helios D 1085-4

Helios D is the current top-tier rod from Orvis, and it shows. This 10-weight, 8'5" rod is designed for chasing big game in both freshwater and saltwater. The rod is both sturdy and surprisingly light in your hand. Think of this as a specialized tool for delivering crisp. effortless, highly accurate casts all day. And when you do connect with your quarry, this rod has the lifting power to get the fish to the net. The rod is beautifully made with all aluminum anodized reel seat, full wells with fighting butt and a matte midnight black finish with black thread wraps.

This specific rod is rated as "Good" condition only due to a barely noticeable 2 mm shallow chip in the cork. Other than that, the rod has a few superficial rub marks from sitting in a rod holder. This is a great chance to pick up a Helios D for just 55% of what you would pay for a brand new specimen.

All Helios rods are handmade in the U.S. This rod comes with its original rod sock and aluminum tube.
