Hydros 843-4 Mid-Flex Fly Rod

Hydros 843-4 Mid-Flex Fly Rod

8' 4", 4-piece, 2¼ oz. Mid-Flex fly rod for 3-wt. line.This is the Hydros mid-flex version of the classic 8-foot 4-inch 3-weight dry fly rod. The simple difference is where the rod is designed to bend-the mid-flex offers a bit more of a traditional feel. The length offers the casting control of a medium-length rod, but is still long enough to allow excellent reach for mending line. The 3-weight handles any size dry fly and allows you to drop a fly with delicacy and precision in just the right place. Hydros offers effortless casts, startling accuracy, and presentations that are sure to improve your efficiency, yet this fly fishing rod has more than enough strength to handle big broad-shouldered trout. The perfect fly rod for fishing small streams. Extreme accuracy. Very light weight.

The more affordable Helios., October 28, 2009
By: BitemeBee

"Using the blank from the Helios with different guides and wraps was a brilliant idea. I love the feel of the tip flex 4 weight I casted. The rod still has the super fast action of the Helios, same rock solid backbone, but does not have the super light weight of the Helios. For any one looking to come as close to the Helios as possible without spending 800 dollars, you now can. I believe this rod has found a beautiful balance between the performance of the Helios, and the price of a TLS. Great job Orvis rod shop. The only thing I would change is that I think it looks a little too much like the Clearwater. Maybe a different guide wrap color?"
