THOMAS & THOMAS SEXTANT 906-4 FLY ROD
OUTFIT : 9'0" 6WT
The Thomas & Thomas Sextant 906-4 fly rod outfit is the ultimate light saltwater flats combo, perfectly balanced with a Hatch Iconic 5 Plus reel, and loaded with premium RIO Elite Flats Pro WF6 fly line, backing, and saltwater leader. All Thomas & Thomas combos are shipped properly rigged and ready to fish.
The Thomas & Thomas Sextant 906-4 fly rod is the ultimate freshwater streamer and light saltwater fly rod. Ideal for smallmouth and largemouth bass, brown trout, bonefish, and redfish. The Sextant 906-4 prides itself on being incredibly powerful yet accurate. Softly laying out a streamer while still maximizing distances is just another advantage that the Sextant 906-4 gives every angler. The Thomas & Thomas Sextant fly rod series is the flagship of saltwater fly rods by combining new technology and performance to continue pushing all limits of possibilities of every thing salt. The end goal of fly fishing has remained the same, but the Thomas and Thomas Sextant is seeking out an easier way to deliver fly line and doing it by adding accuracy. The hardest factor of fly fishing is presenting an artificial fly at the right time and place while trying to convince the fish to eat, the Sextant is here to help.
In saltwater fly fishing the presentation and placement are just as critical as casting a tiny dry fly to picky rising trout. But there is also a need for power not only to deliver large flies through strong winds but to also turn the heads of big fish. The Sextant fly rods are constructed to give a unique reinforced blank that enhances both strength and recovery. Featuring properties of high-performance unidirectional fibers improve the coefficient of energy that is completed through each section of the rod, resulting in a rod that loads extremely quickly and generates lightning-fast line speeds.
The combined challenges of accuracy, delicacy, and power are met with the new Thomas and Thomas Sextant series. Each rod in the Sextant series face these challenges head on providing a smooth loading, quick recovery action that allows for precise accuracy at short distances without sacrificing the power and backbone necessary for punching flies at long distances through heavy winds.

NEW! HATCH ICONIC 5 PLUS FLY REEL : 5-7WT
Hatch made their Iconic Reel to be used
for the long haul without sacrificing its lightweight feel. Crafted from
aircraft aluminum, Hatch’s Iconic is light in your hand and prevents abrasion
and corrosion from daily use. Able to withstand the terrors of saltwater even
after you’ve dropped it in the parking lot, this reel is durable and can handle
just about anything that you throw its way.
Hatch built their Iconic
Reel with a Carbon Filled Drag System to place it at the top of their line when
it comes to drag smoothness. A system that’s brand new and exclusive to the
Iconic, Hatch outfits this reel with a Carbon-Filled drag material that quickly
dissipates heat and provides a feel that’s as smooth as glass. However, Hatch
didn’t stop there--the Iconic removes the cassette housing of the drag system’s
past. Instead, Hatch integrated it right into the body of the reel in order to
increase stability while decreasing axial runout. A well-designed drag system
that can stop anything from carnivorous brown trout to gator-sized tarpon,
Hatch’s Iconic has a drag that you can count on everywhere you go.
The Hatch Iconic 5 Plus Fly Reel is our most
popular reel for targeting freshwater or light saltwater flats species.
Designed from the ground up with similar features from the previous Finatic
reel series, the Iconic Plus series blends traditional looks with specific
upgrades outmatching any reels in its category. The Iconic 5 Plus is the
toughest, most versatile, and smoothest reel for chasing trout, bass, or light
bonefish on the flats. The Iconic 5 Plus is available in both a Large Arbor and
Mid Arbor spool design allowing to swap different lines and backing capacities
to target a larger range of fish species. As a leader of fly reel manufacturing
in the industry, the Iconic Plus series will stand the test of time.
Starting with a new look, the Iconic Reel
features the famous Hatch window pattern with 6 spoke fins, along with a new
drag knob design for a crisp "H" brand logo appearance. Hatch
upgraded to a new bright dip finishing process that brings out the shine of the
machined parts while keep the strong coloring of the matte anodize look. In the
start of the machining process, the Iconic reel body is fully machined into a
one piece frame, without any additional parts. This full body design is an
advantage of never having a reel seat loosen due to galvanic corrosion or other
parts loosening up over time. Hatch then milled the reel handle in a new
machining process to help prevent galvanic corrosion along the handle, while
having the reel handle have a softer look and feel.
New in this series, Hatch upgraded the spool
design with machined ported holes in the spool allowing for lines to dry
faster. The Mid Arbor spools are then machined with cut aesthetic holes on the
side of the spool making it much easier to distinguish between a large and mid
arbor spool. Hatch improved the spool nut into a one piece milled
construction in the spool, eliminating nut loosening and lost pieces. Hatch
focused eliminating any contaminants from the drag system. In the previous
Finatic series, the drag system was built on a separate cassette system. Hatch
eliminated this feature and now builds the drag directly into the body of the
reel. This greatly increases the stability and sealed protection of the drag
system. The drag system now contains a new carbon-filled drag material that not
only help dissipate heat faster, but also creates a smoother feel.

RIO's New Eilte Flats Pro saltwater fly line
is designed for anglers hitting tropical flats in search of bonefish, permit
and tarpon. The line is built on RIO's new DirectCore and Slickcast coating, a
proprietary low-memory, low-stretch monofilament core that retains its
stiffness in tropical heat, yet lies straight on the water without curl or
retraction. The core, which has 30% less stretch than regular tropical
saltwater fly lines, casts further, ensures solid strip sets, and shortens
fight times. The Slickcast creates the slickest, most durable coating on the
market-producing the least amount of friction ever measured on a fly line.
RIO Flats Pro lines
incorporate the SureFire triple color, distance-marking design that takes the
guesswork out of accuracy and distance control, allowing anglers to make higher
percentage shots to cruising targets. The DirectCore Flats Pro line
is available in floating models and a clear tip "StealthTip"
option that features a full-float head with six feet of clear intermediate at
the tip. This nearly invisible front section allows for shorter leaders and
easier, more accurate casts, while the increased density provides greater wind
penetration.
