Heliply Series rods are Scott's easiest casting, most durable saltwater fly rods. Their 8'8 length makes them balance lighter in the hand than a 9' rod and slice through the wind with less resistance...

Reviewed by: Anonymous User ,  30 days a year , from Orlando, FL

Body of Water:
Offshore Florida East Coast, Bahamas, Puerto Rico

Summary:
Great casting rod.
Overload this rod when casting large Billfish flies.
Cork over the reel seat will not last long.
I can only hope customer service will take care of it.

Strengths:
This rod has to be the easiest heavyweight rod to cast.
Very soft tip allows false casting if you wanted to.
Very powerful butt reinforced with fiberglass.

Weaknesses:
Reel seat does not seem to be very durable - the reel sits on top of cork. I placed my Billy Pate Bluefin reel on it and it already deformed the cork reel seat. I can see the reel seat falling apart after a long fight with a Billfish. Rod only has one reel uplocking ring that screws - the second uplocking ring simply slides over the reel foot and has an O-ring that already is stretched out of shape.
