It is a rifle in a world of muskets and it autocorrects the variables of the cast to the target with incomparable precision. Basically, the 3F will have a bit more feel and deliver softer casts more accurately, especially at short and midrange distances while the 3D will sacrifice a bit of close-in feel in favor of. Think of the F for finesse while the D is for distance. No matter what happens behind you, the energy of the forward cast is crisply released through a tight window created by the most significant reduction in horizontal and vertical tip frequency ever conceived. Orvis’ answer was to create two versions of its new Helios rods the 3F and 3D. Helios 3D was designed to significantly reduce the variables at the point of release, focusing the energy of the cast to the intended target. The Helios 3D 909-4 is the go-to rod in the Northeast for stripers, bluefish, false albacore, and bonito. 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 variables of caster, rod, and conditions are too great. Helios 3D 9-Weight, 9-Foot Fly Rods are designed for exceptional accuracy but with enhanced power. No cast ever thrown is identical to any other cast ever thrown. It has the power to handle large streamers, bass bugs, heavy nymphing rigs and is the perfect match for schoolie stripers, smaller bonefish, redfish, and other light saltwater species where distance and accuracy are critical. The overall weights were the same but interestingly the 3D we tested had a slightly lower (better) swing weight. It is slightly stiffer, with a stiffer tip. The Helios 3D 907-4 is designed to handle heavy trout, bass, light steelhead and saltwater. The Orvis Helios 3D is very similar to the Helios 3F in our Presentation Rods category. It’s slightly more refined than the 3D but maintains a smooth, powerful action. Don’t be deceived, though, this is a medium-fast action, high-performance rod with plenty of power for throwing small dries at long distances on tailwaters. 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. Casting Notes: The Helios 3F is built for feel. Get the most accurate fly rod in existence and land more fish on every trip.Helios 3D 7-Weight, 9-Foot Fly Rods are designed for exceptional accuracy but with enhanced power. Whatever the location, whatever the fish, the H3D is ready for it: Big rivers or saltwater, bonefish or bass-those accurate drops earn more bends in the rod, it’s as simple as that. Pushing through a gusty saltwater wind is no big deal-the Helios 3D has the power to get your fly there, and the accuracy to drop it right where you want it. The H3D rod churns out precise casts that are the stuff of legend-because it’s the pinpoint delivery of flies that takes you from a quiet day on the water to battling predator fish ripping down the flats. Increased hoop strength means reduced vibration for a consistently crisp release, because we know accuracy is paramount. We’ve reduced the variables at the point of release to focus the energy behind every cast. This rod comes packed with power, and its fast action allows accurate presentations at the furthest distances. With the D in 3D standing for distance, the Helios 3D model is the faster rod for shooting long and true in windy saltwater and warmwater conditions. We designed the Helios 3D fly rod to cast at impressive distances without sacrificing power-and it hits the mark every time. The Orvis Helios 3D fly rod is for the serious angler looking for peak performance in a fly fishing rod.
