THOMAS & THOMAS CONTACT II 1003-4 FLY ROD : 10'0" 3WT
The Thomas & Thomas Contact II 1003-4 fly rod is the ultimate euro nymph and high sticking fly rod for tight line nymphing long runs for big trout. The Contact II 1003-4 fly rod is designed to make the modern angler as comfortable as possible. From fishing small to big rivers, the Contact II 1003-4 provides anglers with unmatched 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.

I haven't put in the hours with this rod just yet (or tried to cast with a standard fly line), but have been pleasantly impressed in its ability and charming good looks. T&T makes a quality product with top notch components. It is a tad heavier in hand than the Sage ESN (dare i compare), but not uncomfortable or awkward by any means. Would easily recommend for all ability levels.

I've used this rod Euro-nymphing small and big water, it's as sensitive as they get with tippet protection unmatched. It also makes an amazing dry fly rod that you can throw a normal WF3 line on for a nice smooth casting action. One of my favorites. It's also super beautiful!
