Its been a top seller here in my pre made rods for a year now. It pains me to say but it stands up to my custom rods pretty good. The blank is a dream in the mid flex version and the guides (recoil) are great. I have been building on there blanks for a year thanks to my orvis rep for my personal rods and swear by them. Its tops for me by far! Re: Orvis Helios 2

I was thinking they were a ( little pricy ) now that you mentioned it LOL
Customer gets what they want $$$$ Billy You been getting the blanks ?? Lucky you Been talking to Orvis but only for one for a customer They kept saying they were not going to do blanks for a long while Guess this is the time They say they have BUTT power Yes- ?? Looking at the Tip Flex blanks With the line rated do they perform I like a Fast Casting action Bill - willierods.com Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 09/12/2014 01:43PM by bill boettcher.

Ya, guys around here are willing to pay $800 on a good fly rod. Swamp guys save there money for a good jambala, boudon, or gumbo. lol Yes it has a lot of power in the butt and can throw long hauls. Blanks I got came direct from Manchester Vermont. Help that I am paying the sales reps mortgage for the year. He has been there rep for 28 years so he has a in. I still prefer the mid flex forgiveness. We sell massive orvis in my shop. Re: Orvis Helios 2

One of the reasons they decided to get the helios 2 blank out there is they are doing away with the superfine touch glass blank all together as of this year. They needed a replacement to keep there blank line selling so this was the obvious candidate. Re: Orvis Helios 2

I thought maybe they were not selling enough rods so they would give us a shot at them LOL
