Thomas & Thomas Contact II Fly Rod
After nearly three years of design and development, Thomas & Thomas is excited to announce the release of the highly anticipated Contact II series. The Contact II rods represent a fully redesigned second generation of the Contact rod series.
Contact II blank construction uses five different types of premium quality carbon and fiberglass fibers, bound together by a proprietary aerospace resin system. The fibers are aligned at strategic angles as the blank is rolled, improving accuracy, sensitivity, and strength. Components are carefully selected to maximize performance and comfort. Improved guide spacing features a “Low Rider” style stripping guide positioned in the butt section, reducing line sag from the angler’s hand to the first guide.
