The longer and harder you fish the more you notice the nuances of weight and balance in your equipment. Packing the full power of an aluminum frame, handle side side plate, spool and gear system, the Helios defies gravity, weighing in at just 6.3 ounces, but delivering all the muscle. As the ultimate compliment to Helios rods, the combinations begin at less than 10-ounces total, offering a balanced system that can be fished comfortably, all day and every day. Oversized EVA grips, carbon fiber handle and cast control accessed through the Spool Access Port complete this tournament-bred competitor with phenomenal ergonomics.
