[quote Tarponjim]If you choose to go the Orvis route, definitely try the lower-priced Hydros. I have fished both the Helios and the Hydros in 4, 6, and 8 wts. You'll be hard-pressed to tell the difference except for price. I actually prefer the Hydros in the 6 and 8 wts. The 4-wt. Helios is feather-light, but still fairly "fast" for a 4-wt.[/quote]
That is because they are made with the same blanks. I cannot figure out the $200. difference though. Hardware isn't that much.
I guess that is where they lost me.
