Thomas & Thomas Contact II 1086-4

The Thomas & Thomas Contact II 1086-4 is one of the most unique fly rods available today. It feels like a 5wt yet has the power of a 7 weight.

I got to spend several days with the original Contact 1st generation of this rod in Chile fishing for migratory brown trout. The versatility of it was quite impressive. I'm told this Contact II 2nd generation is perfection. Can't wait to put one to use.

While it is designed as a nymph technique rod the versatility lets you choose what you want to do with it. I threw streamers on it without a problem and the length really helped keep line off the water when casting across currents. I really can't think of another rod anything like it.
