The ALL-NEW Thomas & Thomas Sextant Series As technology and performance continue to push the limit of possibilities, the end goal for a fly rod remains the same. We seek to cast a fly line with ease and accuracy – to deliver our best artificial imitation at the right time and in the right place to convince the fish to eat. In saltwater fly fishing, fly presentation and placement are often as critical as when casting tiny imitations to fussy selective trout. But there is also a need for power; both to face into the wind so commonly encountered and to turn the heads of the largest fish. These combined challenges of accuracy, delicacy and power are met with the new Sextant saltwater series from T&T.  The Sextant rod family was born from extensive R&D, representing an evolution in composition and construction from any fly rod previously available.   Sextant rods are constructed with a unique reinforcement strategy that enhances strength and recovery properties of high-performance unidirectional fibers. This improves the coefficient of energy of the completed rod sections, resulting in rods that load quickly and generate wind-cutting line speed and casting distance with less effort. The entire Sextant rod family...

The Thomas & Thomas 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 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.
