The delicate beauty of a brook trout is hard to ignore. Flaming red fins capped with snowy white tips emerge from a body dotted with orange specks and blue halos. In tumbling mountain streams, they slash at flies, as eager to eat as they are terrified of the unknown. Bringing one to hand is a joy; fishing for them with the 2-weight, 6' Helios 2 is sublime.

Small-stream fishing is many things. It's hopping from boulder to boulder while trying to stay upright. It's searching each plunge pool with a bushy caddis pattern. It's hiking as far from the parking lot as you can get. Whatever it means to you, the 2-weight, 8'4", Helios 2 makes the perfect companion.
SI7A7Y51	3	7' 6"	1 1/2 oz.	Mid	4	$795
You don't fly fish for accolades. You don't hike along boulder-strewn mountain streams to make a name for yourself. You don't spend hours tying up bushy attractor patterns to get a better job. You don't use small flies and delicate tippets in order to drive a better car, impress strangers, or conquer the world. You fly fish for yourself, no matter where it takes you. Let the 3-weight, 7'6", Helios 2 be your guide. You'll like what you discover.
SI7A7051	3	8' 4"	2 oz.	Mid	4	$795
Can a fly rod transform you? Can it change how you view the world? How you fish? Maybe a better question is this: should it? Don't fit yourself into a mold. Find a fly rod that fishes the way you do. Designed with dry flies and eager risers in mind, the 3-weight, 8'4" Helios 2 is the rod to turn to for small streams, small fish, and big adventures. Precision and delicacy still have a place in this world. You embrace them. This rod embraces you.
SI7A7251	3	10'	2 1/2 oz.	Tip	4	$795
There are as many ways to fly fish as there are anglers with fly rods. The only thing that matters is finding what's right for you. Some lean toward heavy rods and big fish, while others are quite content with a 1-weight and a brook trout. For those with a high-sticking itch to scratch, the 3-weight, 10' Helios 2 is the perfect rod for the job. From delicate tailwater presentations to dapping dries in creeks no wider than the rod itself, the Helios 2 is all about finding new water and finding yourself. Let the Helios 2 help you along the way.
SI7A7351	4	7'	1 7/8 oz.	Mid	4	$795
A canopy of trees blocks out the sky as patches of sunlight dot the stream in front of you. Overhanging limbs and thick bushes reach toward your backcast, inching closer to grabbing your fly and snapping your tippet. Cramped is an understatement, but you didn't find this spot by accident. You followed the blue line on the map, you trailblazed your way up here, and this plunge pool full of eager trout is your reward. Let the 4-weight, 7' Helios 2 help keep your fly out of the trees and on the water. In this instance, it's fine to come up just a bit short.
SI7A7451	4	8' 6"	2 1/8 oz.	Mid	4	$795
A glass-calm pool mirrors the sky and the steady rhythm of a rising trout echoes in your chest. You've been here before, but not on this stream, not on this day.

SI7A7551	4	9'	2 1/4 oz.	Mid	4	$795
Is fly fishing a worthwhile endeavor? Is it important, on more than an emotional level? The truth is, when you're trying to fit a size 18 fly into a feeding lane halfway across the river, the answer to that question really won't matter. The only thing you'll be thinking about is putting your fly on target. Count on the Helios 2 4-weight 9' medium action fly rod to help you get it there.
SI7A7651	4	9'	2 3/8 oz.	Tip	4	$795
Is the 4-weight 9' Helios 2 a small-stream rod? Is it made for larger streams and drift boat trips? Is it for dry flies? Nymphs? Streamers? The answer to all of the above is, simply, yes. It's a rod built for whatever situation in which you might need it. Versatile, powerful, and alarmingly accurate, this fast-action Helios 2 will become a valuable member of your fishing family, if only you'll let it. Do yourself a solid and get one.
SI7A7751	4	10'	2 5/8 oz.	Tip	4	$795
The difference between catching a fish and going home empty handed can come down to fractions of an inch. It makes sense, then, to give yourself an extra foot to play with. You might just need it.

Reach out and hit your target with the Helios 2 4-weight 10' fly rod.

Everyone wants you to cast farther, to explore deeper, to reach out as far as possible. But there's something to be said about focusing on what's close. You laugh at the parking lot casters, the "I can throw a line with my 3-weight" braggadocio and lose count of how many fish you've caught within 10 feet of where you're standing. You cherish these short casts, these communal presentations, and-what do you know?-so does the 5-weight, 7'9" Helios 2. You're both designed to fish, which means you're perfect for each other.
SI7A7951	5	8' 6"	2 1/4 oz.	Mid	4	$795
You see that brown trout gently sipping sulphurs in the back eddy over there? He's not going to catch himself. Tie on a cripple, put on some floatant, and make sure you have this Helios 2 in your hands. The rest is academic. Lighter in hand than the original Helios, and with unrivaled tracking ability, this medium-action 5-weight feels just as home on the Madison or Snake as it does on that little brook running through the woods by your house. This all around trout fly rod will handle flies, fish, and rivers-large or small-with equal aplomb and sensitivity.
SI7A8A51	5	8' 6"	2 1/4 oz.	Tip	4	$795
If there were a Hall of Fame for fly rod models, the 8'6", 5-weight would have been voted in unanimously. One of the most popular lengths and weights in the world, the fine-tuned Helios 2 tapers breathe new life into a beloved classic. From small-stream boulder hopping to launching rubber-legged foam-bodied hoppers from a boat, this fast-action Helios 2 will finally let you retire all the other 8'6" 5-weights you own and help you rediscover why you started fly fishing in the first place. This Helios 2 will be your new first love.
SI7A8C51	5	9'	2 1/2 oz.	Mid	4	$795
In a culture that wants everything bigger, stronger, and faster, sometimes slowing things down can provide the greatest benefits. If you prefer parachutes to tungsten, live for emergers, and shudder at the thought of coneheads, this is the ideal fly rod. This medium-action Helios 2 5-weight 9' fly rod handles long leaders and light tippets with kindness, but won't shy away from those stubborn trout who won't eat anything that doesn't include rabbit strips and rubber legs. Be ready for anything that swims your way knowing that the best 5 wt. fly rod is in your hands.
SI7A8E51	5	9'	2 1/2 oz.	Tip	4	$795
There may not be many truths in fly fishing, but here is one: you can't catch a fish if you can't get a fly in front of it. Thanks to the most accurate and versatile 5-weight we've ever created, that problem will disappear forever. Whether you're slinging lead toward an undercut bank or dropping tricos in a glass-calm tailout from 50 feet away, the 905-4 Helios 2 will perform with precision, sensitivity, and brute force when necessary. Lighter in hand and stronger than the original Helios, you'll be able to fish longer, fish harder, and feel the difference a superior rod makes.
SI7A8G51	5	10'	2 3/4 oz.	Tip	4	$795
It's possible to be both versatile and specialized. Just fish with the 105-4 Helios 2 fast action 10 foot 5 wt. and try to think otherwise. Its long reach powers your casts when fishing from drift boats and pontoons, and provides enough line control to roll cast and mend on any sized stream. We've taken an excellent trout rod and simply made it 10 feet in length. You can't have too much of a good thing, right?
SI7A8H51	6	9'	2 3/8 oz.	Mid	4	$795
Not everything needs to be fast in order to be effective. From the casting platform on a drift boat, what matters most is accuracy. The small number of anglers that can put flies within an inch of the bank are the ones who are catching the majority of the fish. So when you find yourself dropping a Copper John from a Chernobyl Ant during hopper season on some western river, use a rod that will give you an added advantage and a feeling unlike any other. Use the 6-weight, 9' Helios 2. Your cast will thank you.
SI7A8K51	6	9'	2 5/8 oz.	Tip	4	$795

It's for light steelhead work throughout the Great Lakes. It's for covering as much water as possible on large, western rivers. It's for protecting your tippet as a brown trout shakes its head in dismay. It's for a little extra reach when controlling your line. It's for tangling with bass and large bushy poppers. The 6-weight 10' Helios 2 is built for many things; mostly, it's built for you. It's up to you to figure out just where you need it.
SI7A8T51	7	9'	3 1/2 oz.	Tip	4	$850
It's the pull of a dime-bright steelhead on a swung fly. It's seeing a bonefish materialize 30 feet in front of you. It's the bulldogging carp racing away with your streamer. It's that moment when your tireless preparation meets power and precision. It's why we fish. And it's why we built this fast action 7 wt. Helios 2.
SI7A8X51	7	10'	3 3/8 oz.	Tip	4	$850
It's the last run of the day. Your fingers are as cold as the air outside. You've been roll casting your fast action 10 foot 7 wt. since the sun came up, waiting patiently for this moment. A mend here, a slight twitch there, and then you feel her on the end of your line. She runs upstream like a silvery ghost. You might not notice it in this moment, but as your adrenaline subsides and you come face to face with perfection, you'll be glad you had that extra foot at the end of your rod.
SI7A8Y51	8	9'	3 1/2 oz.	Mid	4	$850
Pick up this medium action 8 weight fly rod in Idaho and you're nymphing for steelhead. The snow falls all around you as you power a cast into a tempting seam. Pick up this rod in Texas and you're battling both the wind and a school of redfish. The sun sears overhead as golden tails glimmer in the saltgrass. Pick up this rod anywhere and you'll see all the time, energy, and work we put into it. We'd be happy for it to be yours.
SI7A8051	8	9'	3 1/4 oz.	Tip	4	$850
The wind swirls across the flat as the sun blasts you from above. A silvery streak flickers beneath the surface. This is your one shot. Make it count. Make sure you're fishing the Helios 2. Strong, light in the hand, and deadly accurate, the 908-4 Helios 2 is the most complete and versatile big-game fly rod we've ever produced. Swing steelhead flies in sub-zero weather or toss Crazy Charlies in triple-digit temperatures; the H2 doesn't care. He's hungry for big flies, big water, and even bigger fish. Give him what he wants.
SI7A8151	8	10'	3 3/4 oz.	Tip	4	$850
Ice coats the guides of your rod like a glassy fog. It floats down the river in semi-solid chunks and runs through your veins like a bitter winter chill. Winter steelheading is not for the pretenders. You're out here because the river is yours when everyone else stays inside and because you can't think of anything you'd rather be doing. Part of the day, you nymph beneath an indicator. Then you switch to swinging streamers. Luckily, the 8-weight 10' Helios 2 pulls double duty. You tell yourself "one more cast" as you lose feeling in your fingers. Suddenly, your line goes tight and that breathless surge of adrenaline radiating through your chest is the only feeling that matters.
SI7A8251	9	9'	3 3/4 oz.	Tip	4	$850
Stripers haunt you, bonefish taunt you-and don't get you started on redfish. You're a big-game hunter with a big-time need for a fly rod with firepower. Enter the Helios 2. Lighter in hand and stronger than the original Helios, the 909-4 Helios 2 will turn the one that got away from an urban legend to a picture on your cellphone.

SI7A8351	10	9'	3 7/8 oz.	Tip	4	$850
A sharp black tail slices through the surface, then disappears in a whisper. Your eyes scan the flat as your pulse pounds like a bass drum. "Two o'clock, 40 feet!" your guide yells. With nothing more than hope and a backcast, your Helios 2 10-weight 9' fly rod lands your fly near the first permit of your life. You strip once, strip again, forgetting for a moment everything else. This is your time. And this fast action 10 wt. is your fly rod.
SI7A8451	11	9'	4 3/4 oz.	Tip	4	$850
Through the flapping wind, your guide yells instructions. It's a coordinated effort, him poling the skiff into position, you the proud bearer of some unseen pressure to make the perfect cast. You've dreamt of this moment since the first time you picked up a fly rod and you don't want to blow it. Into the wind, you lay out your line as far as possible. A tarpon peels off from the passing school, opening its mouth as it inches toward your fly. What happens from here is anyone's guess. Give yourself the advantage. Fish with a 9', 11-weight Helios 2.
SI7A8551	12	9'	5 3/8 oz.	Tip	4	$850
A 150-pound tarpon swims defiantly into view some 50 feet away. Perched on the casting platform, your hands shake as you begin your backcast, and every muscle in your body focuses on this instant. Your lungs exhale an anxious air, equal parts anticipation and pure exhilaration. Your time is now. Your rod is here.
SI7A8651	14	8' 6"	5 3/4 oz.	Tip	4	$850
The water surrounding the boat is as blue as the rod in your hands. How deep it is, you have no idea. A warm tropical wind races through the air, spreading around the crisp scent of the sea. Your fly looks like a dashboard hula dancer, a fluorescent wig tied to a hook the size of your palm. Primal beasts rise from the depths, slashing at the offering with pure anger, not an ounce of hesitation coursing through their muscles. A sailfish latches onto your fly, and with the high-pitched scream of your reel as a soundtrack, leaps to the sun in blue and gold flashes, its eyes focused on you. He's your Goliath. The 8'6", 14-weight Helios 2 is your slingshot.
