THOMAS & THOMAS CONTACT II 1086-4 FLY ROD : 10'8" 6WT
The Thomas and Thomas Contact II 1086-4 fly rod is the perfect rod for anglers looking to high stick big rivers for giant trout, salmon and steelhead. Providing ultimate sensitivity and power, the Contact II 1086-4 will no doubt be a favorite amongst the euro nymphing community. The Contact II fly rod series is designed to make the modern tight line angler as comfortable as possible. 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.
