Thomas & Thomas Contact II Rod Series, The Redesigned Euro

Arriving Soon!

Nearly three years of development for a fully redesigned, second generation Contact rod Series known simply as Contact II.

Contact II blank construction utilizes five different types of premium quality carbon and fiberglass fibers, bound together by our proprietary aerospace resin system. Aligning these fibers at strategic angles as we roll Contact II blanks improves accuracy, sensitivity, and strength. Components have been carefully selected to maximize performance and comfort. Improved guide spacing moves a “Low Rider” style stripping guide to the butt section of each Contact II, which decreases line sag from the angler’s hand to the first guide.

Features
  • Optimized guide spacing with lowered stripping guides to decrease line sag between the hand and first guide 
  • Increased backbone power to improve hook sets and assist landing larger fish 
  • Extra dense premium Flor grade cork grips increases feel and bite transmission 
  • Matte black downlocking hardware as standard with T&T’s trademark roll stamped logo and burled Black Ash spacer 
  • Black RECoil single foot snake guides 
  • Black hook keeper and winding check 
  • Black “Low Rider” style stripping guide keeps line tighter to blank for improved strike transmission and accuracy 
  • New low-profile rounded fighting butt for balance and comfort 
  • Stealthy brown and olive thread wraps.

Thomas & Thomas Contact Fly Rods - Free Fly Line

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.
  • Blue powder-coat with pewter Thomas & Thomas logo.
Contact 1086-4 Handle - 10'8" 6wt


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.
