Description Orvis HELIOS D Fly Rod 954-4 50th Anniversary Edition Special Edition Helios D 9’5″ 4-Weight, 4-Piece Fly Rod Item number: 3MA4-04-51 After 50 years as the industry leader in graphite fly rods, Orvis is celebrating a golden anniversary with the Helios™ Limited Edition dry-fly rod. To commemorate the occasion, our rod designers built a rod that pulls at the heartstrings of the technical dry-fly angler and showcases the accuracy, precision, and eye-catching look Orvis graphite rods are known for. Starting with a retro-inspired, unsanded 9′5″ 4-wt. Helios D blank, they dressed it with gold accents, black anodized reel-seat hardware, and a hand-selected burl maple insert, then presented the whole package in a signature 50th Anniversary rod tube and sock.
