Orvis Helios D 1085-4 - ROD1245

The Orvis Helios D 1085-4 is built for the specific demands of heavy saltwater and big-game fly fishing. This 8'5" 10-weight rod provides the aggressive lifting power and tracking necessary to deliver large, wind-resistant flies to high-speed predators like tarpon, permit, and giant trevally. Its slightly shorter length than the standard 9' model offers increased leverage, making it easier to pull heavy fish from deep cover or manage a fight from a boat.

This rod incorporates advanced materials designed to improve hoop strength and minimize energy loss during the casting stroke. The Helios D series focuses on rapid recovery and high line speed, allowing the angler to make quick, accurate second shots when a fish is on the move. By reducing rod tip vibration, this technology ensures that every bit of power is directed into the line for maximum efficiency on the flats.

This particular rod is in Great condition with only minimal signs of careful use. At Recast Fly Fishing, we believe that recirculating high quality preowned gear is the best way to take responsibility for our environmental impact while giving serious anglers access to premium tools.
