It's amazing how far fly rods have come over the years. Rods were once made of bamboo, and many would argue the finest rods still are, but today’s high-end models are made out of a whole lot more.
Take Orvis’ ZG (Zero Gravity) Helios limited-edition model, for example.
The ZG Helios are quickly becoming the most talked about rods on the market because of their design and limited quantity. Only 250 first-editions rods have been released by Orvis, just in time for the holiday season.
If you can afford shelling out $755 a rod (they can be personally engraved for another $45), this is the stick for you. According to Orvis, the ZG Helio uses “exclusive thermoset thermosplastic resin technology combined with an all-new steeper taper” to create one of lightest and most technologically advanced rods around – the gift of a lifetime for 250 lucky souls.
