The cast was simple one false cast, a haul, and boom - 80 feet of line shooting through the air hitting a baseball hat laying in the grass every time! The dampening technology in the Helios was evident as my hand did not vibrate as the rod unloaded. I choose this rod because after casting it, I was amazed that I could easily shoot line with little effort, and I could deliver extremely accurate casts well beyond 80 feet.

My dedicated saltwater set up was an older Sage two piece, and I did not want the hassle of taking it on airplanes. I had an older, four-piece, 9-weight set up (that is primarily used for salmon fishing and not saltwater specific). *Please note that this warranty does not apply to the original Frequent Flyer series (purchased previously to January 2014) or Clearwater rods purchased before 1999, nor does it apply to our Streamline, Green Mountain or Encounter fly rod series, which are warranted for defects in original workmanship only.I was looking for a travel rod for a trip to Belize.

The Helios 3D fly rods from Orvis are purpose-built to deliver accuracy at distance in the most technical of situations.
