Contact III+ Series
Thomas & Thomas is excited to announce the release of the highly anticipated Contact III+, a fully redesigned third generation of T&T’s award-winning Contact rod series. Building on the proven success of the Contact II, each model retains the familiar action and flex profiles of its predecessor, ensuring a seamless transition for anglers, now with meaningful performance enhancements.
As modern techniques have evolved to include thinner leader systems, smaller flies, dry-dropper rigs, and jig streamer presentations, T&T has engineered the Contact III+ to excel across this broad spectrum of approaches.
At the core of the Contact III+ is a new proprietary composite material, designed to deliver improved sensitivity, durability, and responsiveness under varying fishing conditions.

Sam Graham –
I’ve used the Contact III+ for several weeks now and it’s been a solid choice for both nymphing and dry-dropper setups. The sensitivity is noticeably better than the previous model, and it handles small flies with precision. The weight is balanced, making it easy to cast in windy conditions.

The rod feels responsive and has a smooth action. I use it primarily for streamer and dry-fly presentations. It’s durable and holds up well in both still and moving water.

After switching from the Contact II, I noticed a clear improvement in feel and feedback. The new composite material makes a difference in detecting subtle bites, especially when using small nymphs or dry flies.
