THOMAS & THOMAS CONTACT II 1123-4 FLY ROD : 11'2" 3WT
The Thomas and Thomas Contact II 1123-4 fly rod is the ultimate euro nymphing fly rod specifically designed for high sticking/tight line nymphing for trout. Crafted to be comfortable and reliable, the Contact II 1123-4 provides great balance and versatility with added length. Both powerful and sensitive, the Contact II 1123-4 is the ideal euro nymph rod when you need a long drift in long runs on the other side of the river. When Thomas and Thomas set out to design the Contact II rods, they wanted a rod that could improve accuracy, sensitivity, and strength. The Contact II blank construction utilizes five different types of premium quality carbon and fiberglass fibers, bound together by a proprietary aerospace resin system. These components have been carefully selected to maximize performance and comfort. Adjusting guides spacing moves a “Low Rider” style stripping guide to the butt section of each Contact II, this helps decrease line snag from the angler’s hand to the first guide. With the growth and rising popularity of Euro and Competition nymphing over the last couple of years, there is no doubt that the Thomas and Thomas Contact II fly rod is the future for all nymphing anglers around the world.

Like T&T says, “Eventually the rod you will own”. Well, this is my first T&T. Been fly fishing for over 40 years and have many brands of rods. Several are my favorite and this new T&T is one of them. Taken up euro nymphing several years ago and this rod is the pinnacle of what I believe a euro rod should be. Sensitive and accurate. Easy to cast a hand tied French leader further then I thought possible. Used it this past weekend up in the Smokies chasing small Brookies on small to medium streams and was impressed. Caught many fish on euro technique with the long rod which was easy to drop flies over large rocks into pockets while not being seen. Awesome quality. Going to get a another T&T soon.
