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 Okuma’s 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.
Proposition 65 is a California law that applies to companies selling products in California. Proposition 65 requires warnings if a product contains any listed chemical present above very low levels. Proposition 65’s warning standards are among the most stringent in the world. Proposition 65 is not a product safety law, but rather a "right-to-know" law. Businesses are required to provide warnings to comply with Proposition 65.
There are over 800 chemicals on the Proposition 65 list, which is administered by California's Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA), a part of the California Environmental Protection Agency. The list includes naturally occurring and man-made chemicals. Proposition 65 warnings can be seen for a wide variety of everyday consumer products, including electronic equipment, and warnings can be seen posted throughout California in a variety of establishments such as buildings, hotels, restaurants, coffee shops, and stores.
Why do you see the warning on our packaging and website?
The warning is part of our ongoing effort to comply with the California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986 (known as "Proposition 65").
