Orvis Helios Fly Fishing Rod a Sucess

While at the recent Orvis Warehouse Sale in Charlotte, NC, I had a good close up opportunity to review the new line of fly fishing rods. It's the Helios line, the lightest, strongest and most flexible fly-fishing rod Orvis has ever produced.

These rods offer the latest technology in resins, to reduce the weight. That technology coupled with a new lighter reel seat, makes them the world's lightest fishing rods . The Orvis team spent over two years to develop and perfect the new line, but it has paid off in sales, which are going thru the roof!

As I looked over those beautiful rods, I could not help but wonder what roll in the development of the rod, was played by my friend Tom Rosenbauer, Marketing Director for Orvis Rod and Tackle.

Orvis really ends your search for fly fishing products.
