Contact Series
Fly Fishing techniques are reaching deeper than ever thought possible. Weighted flies, long leaders and highly sensitive rods are letting anglers get down to where fish do most of their feeding.Thomas & Thomas Contact Series
Utilizing a proprietary resin T&T calls StratoTherm, Thomas & Thomas is able to produce rods that are light weight, responsive, durable and can transmit every tic into your fingertips.
Flexible while quick dampening, the T&T Contact casts without the shock waves in the tip so you can have confidence in putting the fly on target and it staying there ready for immediate action.
Features:
- Four piece multi-modulus graphite blank incorporating Thomas & Thomas’ latest proprietary composites and curing process, with stealth natural graphite finish.
- Titanium-frame ceramic stripping guide and single foot RECoil guides with subtle olive wraps.
- Small fighting butt and western grip of select Flor-grade cork
- Up-locking, black anodized aluminum reel seat and burled black ash spacer, with down-locking available by request.
- 1086-4 Model features wells grips with larger hardware and fighting butt.
- Includes aluminum rod tube with machined bar-stock aluminum collar and cap.

Chile Brown Trout
I got some time in Chile with the 1086-4 this past spring. What impressed me is this rods feels like a 5 weight in hand yet cast and fights fish like a 7 weight. While labeled a 6 weight it could easily play the role of a serious steelhead rod and still be a lot of fun on above average size trout. It's truly a rod that covers a wide range of utility.
