T&T’s DNA Spey series is one of the most diverse and pointedly practical Spey offerings on the market. With three different rod tapers to accommodate different styles of Spey casting, the DNA Spey truly does it all. The DNA Spey features a progressive action and high-end componentry for a sharp, crisp feel and tons of feedback. Whether you’re after Steelhead or Salmon, these larger two-handed Spey rods are backed by tons of history and two-handed evolution to be some of the best on the market.
Multi-Modulus Graphite Blank - T&T’s multi-modulus graphite technology supports the three rod tapers of the DNA Spey. The XF rods are designed for Scandi style lines, the XD rods are made for Skagit heads, and the classic style rods are made to handle long lines (mid-belly and longer). These rods are snappy and highly capable in a variety of Spey casting scenarios. They also come with a T&T dark blue low-friction finish.
Fuji Stripping Guides - Fuji stripping guides are heavy-duty and lightweight. These guides will easily shoot a host of Scandi or Skagit style lines and are also tangle-resistant for worry-free two-handed casting.
Universal Snake Guides - Universal snake guides are easy and efficient. These guides accommodate a host of different Spey lines and are used by many major rod manufacturers for their sleek profile and low-friction design.
Milled Aluminum Reel Seat w/Double Downlocking Components - The reel seat on the DNA Spey is designed to withstand weather and corrosion. A pewter gray milled aluminum design with heavy-duty double downlocking components makes the reel seat of the DNA Spey weatherproof and intensely functional. An ultra-premium cork Spey style grip makes casting and fighting fish on the swing easy and comfortable.
Aluminum Rod Tube - The DNA Spey comes in a blue powder-coated aluminum rod tube that protects the rod during travel and transportation. These tubes are durable and include a T&T rod sock for increased fly rod protection.
T&T Lifetime Warranty - As of July 2019, T&T offers an original owner lifetime warranty against breakage due to defects in materials or workmanship. Rods must be registered with T&T within 30 days of purchase. The warranty does not cover lost sections or lost rods, normal wear and tear, neglect or intentional breakage. T&T will also repair rods for a $55 service fee provided they’re registered to the original owner.
