Focusing on a full redesign of the first Avantt Rods, T and T starts with an updated taper, featuring a fast-action that still leads to smooth casting and top-notch feedback. Utilizing a composition of five different types of premium fibers-all secured together with an aerospace resin-the Avantt 2 has advanced durability with increased recovery and tip control like no other. Combining this construction with the taper and build, the Avantt 2 makes for an excellent dry fly rod while still being a stick that you can turn to whenever the morning hatch dies and you need to work the bottom with nymphs and streamers. The Avantt 2 is made in line weights 3 through 7 in a variety of lengths, and with state-of-the-art components like a special wells grip, elegant burled wood spacer, black titanium frame stripping guides, and the premium build that we've all come to know from Thomas and Thomas, this is a rod that you'll be happy to break out whether you're working tiny remote streams or hitting larger rivers in search of trout in excess of two-feet. Handcrafted in Greenfield, Massachusetts, and ready for a ton of fishing situations, the Avantt 2 is a reliable choice for it all whether you need a new European-style nymphing rod, streamer stick, or that dry fly rod that hits every hatch on the east coast.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 18px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBlank\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePremium Fiber Construction - Thomas and Thomas is well known for its extreme quality and craftsmanship-the Avantt 2 is no exception here.
