Orvis Helios Ion 604-2 Mid 7.5
$750.00
This Ion "One-Ounce" rod is the choice for the tightest spots and smallest of creeks. Delicate, precise presentations.
Length: 6'0"
Line Weight: 4
Pieces: 2
Weight: 7/8 oz.
If ever there was a rod designed for the joys of small stream brook trout fishing, the Helios 602-4 is it. These aggressive little fish are the jewels of the high mountain streams and found only in cold pure water. Though they are small, they fight magnificently and this little rod is perfect for tight quarters, precise casts and the feel of small fish with big hearts. At less than an ounce, the 602-4 is ultra sensitive and directly conveys every wonderful tug, pull and twist. One couldn't ask for a better match between fish and rod.

Orvis Helios Ion 763-4 Mid 7.5
$750.00
The perfect spring creek fly rod. Super lightweight, sensitive, precise.
Length: 7'6"
Line Weight: 3
Pieces: 4
Weight: 1 1/4 oz.
If you love to challenge big fish with a light rod, then the Helios Ion 763-4 Mid is the rod you want to take with you. At 7-feet, 6-inches, the rod has the length that will offer you pinpoint accuracy at short to medium distances, but with the power to reach out just a few more feet in larger streams. As a 3-weight, there is strength, but more importantly the ability to present a small dry fly silently, perfectly, and deftly in those situations where precision is imperative and anything else simply won't do. There is perhaps no better rod for Tricos or spring creek midges. Built with Helios technology and weighing just 1 ¼ ounce, it is the closest thing to a surgical instrument a fly rod can be.

Orvis Helios Ion 704-4 Mid 7.0
$750.00
The perfect fly fishing rod for small and mid-size streams with tight canopies.
Length: 7'0"
Line Weight: 4
Pieces: 4
Weight: 1 1/8 oz.
A few years ago we introduced the Superfine Trout Bum, a 7-foot 4-inch 4-piece that became one of the single best-selling models we ever introduced. Now comes its successor, the Helios Ion 704-4 Mid. This new version offers the same remarkable versatility as a small but powerful pack rod for backcountry fishing and small streams, but as a 4-weight, capable of handling surprisingly big fish. Whether in a western spring creek or a Pennsylvania trout stream, when the cover is thick and the fish are big, this is the rod you need. Built with Helios technology and weighing just 1 1/8 ounce, this rod feels like a feather, but has the backbone to handle 20-inch trout. Like its predecessor, it's destined to become a legendary Orvis rod.

Orvis Helios Ion 795-4 Mid 7.0
$750.00
The lightest 5-weight fly rod made. Perfect rod for big dries and streamers on small streams.
Length: 7'9"
Line Weight: 5
Pieces: 4
Weight: 1 1/4 oz.
The 7-foot, 9-inch fly rod has been an Orvis favorite for generations. Often known in earlier models as the Far and Fine, it is an iconic model dating back to the bamboo days that has seen more trout streams than most. Now using Helios Ion technology, that icon becomes even more important as the ultimate precision trout rod for trout fishing anywhere. At 7-foot, 9-inches there is length enough to reach out when necessary, but because it is still under 8-feet, it has the control to place flies with absolute pinpoint accuracy when needed. As a 5-weight, there is more than enough backbone to handle big trout and large flies or weighted nymphs. Built with Helios Ion technology and weighing just 1 ¼ ounce, the 795-4 Mid is destined to retain its iconic status for generations to come.
