The new Helios 3 Blackout is the perfect balance between a soft, sensitive tip for strike detection and the beefy butt section I need when a true giant climbs on.” -George Daniel, guide and instructor at Livin on the Fly, former competitive angler, and a former coach for both the USA Youth and Adult Fly-Fishing Teams DescriptionĪ product of strong collaboration, the Blackout rods are high-concept, extremely specialised fishing tools-each conceptualised in a partnership between our storied guides and gear designers. “Most Euro rod blanks have thin walls with a narrow butt section and just lack the reserved power to control a bigger fish.

About this Review: This review is my honest opinion of the fly rod, which I purchased with my own money in May of 2021. The Helios 3D 905-4 can put a streamer on a dime at sixty feet, and when the opportunities are way out there and the windows are small, this is the rod of choice. Even though I gave this rod, and the Meridian, both perfect scores at 35 feet, I give the advantage to the Helios 3F. I found myself comparing every other rod with it at 35 feet. The soft tip on this rod was just what the doctor ordered. But even with its softer feel, it had an unbelievable amount of power. They are the most accurate fly rods ever built, but offer remarkable strength and the ability to place a fly where you want it at distance. The Orvis Helios 3F was my top rod at 35 feet. It had an incredible amount of feel, making it the best rod at distances inside 45 feet. ![]() Helios 3D 5-Weight, 9' Fly Rods are designed for exceptional accuracy but with enhanced power. ![]()
