G-Tec keeps the rod blank lightweight and incredibly strong while efficient componentry adds to the rod's application-specific design. A beautiful reel seat gives the rod a refined feel and easy functionality. The lighter weights are made for the angler who targets trout from distance and needs pinpoint accuracy every time. The heavier weights, 6wt through 12wt in the Full Wells grip with fighting butt, bring the same blank to saltwater. That being said, the rod's performance inside 45-feet is also stellar. This is one of the most high-performing, versatile fly rods on the market.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBlank\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eG-Tec Blank Technology\u003c\/strong\u003e - The Sky G is made with graphene.

The Helios 4 D was designed to offer distance (which is what the “D” stands for), lifting power, excellent line speed, and pinpoint accuracy while maintaining versatility over a wide range of fishing situations. From tightline nymphing small streams, stripping streamers over a large river, or double hauling to anything from striped bass to permit, the Helios 4 D does it all.

An excellent addition to the Orvis family of rods, the Helios D is crafted in the USA with ultra-crisp casting and a lightweight feel that lets you handle those 12-hour shifts with ease.

This combines to ensure that you can land a fly exactly where you need it, every single time. And while performance is at the heart of these rods, durability is far from sacrificed.

The Salt R8 is the successor to Sage's long-favored Salt HD and picks up where it left off with a mission that's been desired by saltwater anglers for years: providing more strength and power in order to release fish faster while maintaining extreme feel and sensitivity with the ability to land precise presentations and handle in-close shots just as well as 90-foot Hail Marys. To make this happen, Sage spent a long time down in the Florida Keys and worked with top guides, fought tough fish, and then handed all of this info off to their engineering team-after a long road, they finally landed at the Salt R8 and crafted it in weights and lengths to handle anything from pelagic billfish to juvenile tarpon in a roadside canal or striped bass in the surf. The Salt R8 is built in Bainbridge Island, Washington and combines meticulous fiber alignment, high-quality componentry, and just the right taper to make casting a joy while making tugging on aggressive saltwater fish stress-free. With a comprehensive assortment of options, the Salt R8 is a tool ready for every salty job, and whether you're taking a 7-weight into the backcountry for snook, reds, and seatrout or grabbing a 12-weight to battle tarpon before heading offshore for an afternoon of crushing king mackerel, the Salt R8 lets you handle them all with ease.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBlank\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRevolution 8 Technology- Revolution 8 (or R8) is Sage's newest blank technology, and its key focuses lie in a combination of seamless saltwater fishing versatility-whether that be species, habitats, or conditions. The R8 Tech combines a stiffer backbone with an ultra-sensitive tip and consistent connectivity between you, your rod, your line, and the fish at hand. So how does Sage manage to pull this off? It starts with the use of a proprietary aerospace composite that allowed Sage to dimensionally grow taper diameter more quickly from the tip and then combines a nano-sintered resin application that enhances axial durability while placing additional fiber into the blank without increasing weight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNot only does the Salt R8 boast state-of-the-art technology and a do-it-all saltwater range of sizes, but it comes in a clean Tempest Blue color with Slate primary wraps and accenting White and Grey trim.

Combining an assortment of award-winning components and materials with the perfect taper and a blank that focuses power exactly where you need it, the AIR 2 Max is designed for the toughest fish out there.

Loomis’ all-new Asquith 2 series represents a top-of-the-line performance increase over the original Asquith. While those are big shoes to fill, the Asquith 2 executes it flawlessly by maintaining the legendary Spiral X Core blank while decreasing the rod’s swing weight and using state-of-the-art components across the rod’s entire build. Designed to decrease fatigue during long days on the water, the Asquith 2 has completely refined the energy transfer through the blank, creating a tool that feels virtually weightless in the hand yet generates line speed that defies physics and loop control that makes it easier than ever to hit dinnerplate-sized targets from lengthy distances. Loomis carefully builds each of their new Asquith 2 Fly Rods in Woodland, Washington, across line weights beginning with a 4 and bumping all the way to a 12. Performance-driven, made with ultra-premium componentry, backed by  a rock-solid warranty, and designed with decades of rod designing experience, the Asquith 2 is a tool that you can confidently rely on whether you are stalking spooky permit on glassy flats or threading a streamer through structure on a wide riverbend. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBlank\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpiral X Core Blank - \u003c\/strong\u003eAt the core of this rod lies an evolution of Shimano’s proprietary Spiral X technology.

Building on the proven performance of its predecessor, the Contact III+ introduces meaningful material advancements that reduce weight, improve recovery speed, and heighten sensitivity without compromising lifting power. Designed to meet the demands of modern approaches—from micro leaders and small flies to dry-dropper rigs and jig streamers—this rod delivers precise control and immediate connection throughout the drift. The result is a tool that feels exceptionally responsive in hand while maintaining the backbone needed to confidently manage large fish on light tippet while also sporting the sensitivity needed to detect those ultra-subtle strikes. Handcrafted with the quality craftsmanship and expert detail T\u0026amp;T is known for in Greenfield, Massachusetts, the Contact III+ has options ranging from a 10' 2-weight to a 10'9\" 4-weight to cover anything from ultralight work on a clear spring creek to rolling heavy nymphs just after iceout. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMost Thomas \u0026amp; Thomas Contact III+ models  (excluding the 6-weight) also include two interchangeable tips—a traditional tubular tip and an ultra-sensitive solid carbon tip—giving anglers built-in versatility and the confidence of a ready backup that helps cover all water types. The solid carbon tip loads effortlessly and heightens strike detection, making it an excellent choice for micro leaders, light flies, and technical presentations, while the tubular tip provides added support for heavier rigs and weight-forward lines when a more authoritative delivery is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBlank\u003cbr\u003eProprietary Composite Material, Pure Carbon Blank - \u003c\/strong\u003eAt the core of the Contact III+ is a newly engineered proprietary composite that produces a 100% pure carbon blank with a smaller diameter and lighter overall profile than previous iterations. The reduced cross-section minimizes air resistance during the cast and limits wind interference while drifting, promoting greater accuracy with less effort. Faster recovery allows the rod to return to its neutral position quickly, while enhanced blank damping virtually eliminates tip bounce, for cleaner presentations and improved strike detection. Together, these refinements create a blank that emphasizes efficiency, sensitivity, and control in technical fishing scenarios.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTo create an aesthetic that's timeless for years to come while blending into those trouty environments, T\u0026amp;T finishes this blank in an Insect Green color with accenting Goldenrod thread wraps. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGuides\u003cbr\u003eGunmetal light wire single-foot running guides, with one nickel titanium bendable snake guide under the tip top to reduce line wrap - \u003c\/strong\u003eThe Contact III+ is outfitted with gunmetal light-wire single-foot running guides to reduce overall weight and maintain solid rod balance. A nickel-titanium bendable snake guide positioned beneath the tip-top also helps prevent line wrap, while a black double-foot high-frame stripping guide creates a sharper angle to the reel, reducing drag when the rod is under load. On select longer models, guide sizing and spacing have been adjusted to limit line sag and further enhance line control.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOutfitted with top-notch materials and finely crafted, T\u0026amp;T's choice in guides on the Contact III+ represents the pinnacle of contact nymphing performance. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReel Seat\u003cbr\u003eMatte Black Downlocking Reel Seat w\/  Burled Wood Spacer -  \u003c\/strong\u003eThe Contact III+'s matte black downlocking hardware with dual-locking nuts provides a secure foundation for modern nymphing reels while maintaining excellent balance in hand.

If a tip section breaks, anglers can email a photo of the damage along with the rod's serial number, and a matching replacement tip will be produced and shipped without requiring the entire rod to be returned. Damage to other sections will still necessitate sending the rod in for proper fitting and repair, ensuring the rod continues to perform exactly as intended.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRod Action:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBest for: \u003c\/strong\u003eTrout, Nymphing\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended Lines:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ca target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" class=\"text-primary underline\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tridentflyfishing.com\/products\/rio-technical-euro-nymph-fly-line?_pos=2\u0026amp;_sid=ece0d195e\u0026amp;_ss=r\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003eRio Technical Euro Nymph Fly Line\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ca target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" class=\"text-primary underline\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tridentflyfishing.com\/products\/scientific-anglers-mastery-euro-tactical-nymph-braided-core-line?_pos=5\u0026amp;_sid=ece0d195e\u0026amp;_ss=r\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003eScientific Anglers Mastery Euro Tactical Nymph Braided Core Line\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Thomas \u0026 Thomas","offers":[{"title":"2wt \/ 10ft \/ Downlocking","offer_id":50092594888937,"sku":"SKU850028284292","price":1195.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"3wt \/ 10ft \/ Downlocking","offer_id":50092594921705,"sku":"SKU850028284308","price":1195.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2wt \/ 10ft 9in \/ Downlocking","offer_id":50092594954473,"sku":"SKU850028284315","price":1195.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"3wt \/ 10ft 9in \/ Downlocking","offer_id":50092594987241,"sku":"SKU850028284322","price":1195.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"4wt \/ 10ft 9in \/ Downlocking","offer_id":50092595020009,"sku":"SKU850028284339","price":1195.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"3wt \/ 11ft 5in \/ Downlocking","offer_id":50092595052777,"sku":"SKU850028284346","price":1195.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2wt \/ 10ft \/ Uplocking","offer_id":50092595085545,"sku":"SKUCONTACT III+ 1002-4UL","price":995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"3wt \/ 10ft \/ Uplocking","offer_id":50092595118313,"sku":"SKUCONTACT III+ 1003-4UL","price":995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2wt \/ 10ft 9in \/ Uplocking","offer_id":50092595151081,"sku":"SKUCONTACT III+ 1092-4UL","price":995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"3wt \/ 10ft 9in \/ Uplocking","offer_id":50092595183849,"sku":"SKUCONTACT III+ 1093-4UL","price":995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"4wt \/ 10ft 9in \/ Uplocking","offer_id":50092595216617,"sku":"SKUCONTACT III+ 1094-4UL","price":995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"3wt \/ 11ft 5in \/ Uplocking","offer_id":50092595249385,"sku":"SKUCONTACT III+ 1153-4UL","price":995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0749\/1846\/1673\/files\/thomas-thomas-rods-thomas-thomas-contact-3-plus-fly-rod-1229160946.jpg?v=1774460980"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.tridentflyfishing.com\/collections\/top-fly-rods.oembed","provider":"Trident Fly Fishing","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
