Our friends at Orvis describe this fast-loading rod as the “go-everywhere, fish-anything option.” From tight trout streams to wide-open salt flats, the Helios D offers effortless all-day casting. Better yet, it comes with a 25-year guarantee.

“I was a guide for WorldCast Anglers for almost eight years, and they are still the Orvis Endorsed Outfitter for Jackson Hole–Teton Valley.

“This spring, I purchased a Helios D 6WT. All my friends are using it. Throw this thing, and it’s like a rocket. It’s amazing! I live in Victor, Idaho, so I mainly fish the South Fork of the Snake River through Swan Valley and the canyon. Every now and then I make it over to the Henry’s Fork of the Snake. The Helios is the only rod I’ve fished this spring and summer. I absolutely love it. “We had 100-plus percent snowpack this winter. The South Fork is flowing cold and clear at 10,000 CFS. We throw big bugs. These fish can push anywhere from the healthy teens to 24 inches long. They’re mostly native Yellowstone cutthroat, but we catch our fair share of rainbows and browns.

“This rod is going to get the job done.”
