Shop Staff Notes:  The Orvis Helios 3 Blackout 9’5″ 5-weight Fly Rod feels like your casting a 5 weight -but you’ve got the power of an 8 weight to punch out big flies to big fish in the wind and enough backbone to battle everything from large, LOG trout in freshwater to all but the biggest Bull Reds in the salt.
