Technical Nymphing Rods for Accuracy and Power!
T&T has improved the Contact Fly Rod after nearly three years of development. The result is a fully refined second generation Contact rod series. Contact II blank construction utilizes five different types of premium quality carbon and fiberglass fibers, bound together by a proprietary aerospace resin system. Accuracy, sensitivity, and strength is all improved by aligning these fibers at strategic angles while rolling Contact II blanks. 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.
- 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

- Downlocking reel seat standard on 2wt to 4wt models
- Uplocking reel seat available on 2wt-4wt rods at an additional $25 charge

Thomas and Thomas Contact 2
I have been Euro nymphing for 5 years now, and have graduated to the Thomas and Thomas Contact 2 10'9" 3 weight. I fish New Zealand rivers where you use a 3wt with trepidation, especially when wanting to release the fish in a healthy state. Smooth and light for casting, the T&T Contact 2 has also proved itself to control the fight with a butt section that is powerful enough for the bigger fish. I love having the fighting butt to help absorb big fish pressure.
