Just like the Helios fly reels of the past, the new Helios SX fly reels will be built around a full machined aluminum and anodized frame and spool design for rigidity and strength.

The Helios SX not only is designed with a machined aluminum frame and spool but also a machined aluminum reel foot and handle knob. The Multi-Disk Japanese felt drag washers provide the ultimate in smoothness and is protected by Okumas Hydro Block watertight drag seal that works as a splash guard keeping your drags running smooth and dry. The Helios SX runs a 2BB 1RB stainless steel bearing drive system for smooth line retrieval even on the meanest of fish. With its easy-to-change, left-to-right hand retrieval conversion, you can get on the water quickly. Available in five sizes, 4/5, 5/6, 7/8, 8/9, and 10/11. And the best part of the new Helios SX is the limited lifetime warranty.
