The T&T Lotic exemplifies fiberglass reimagined. With a crisp, medium action, the Lotic maintains all the performance factors we love about graphite with a subtle fiberglass feel. Classic componentry combined with a progressive rod taper make the Lotic a real pleasure to fish on spring creeks and other small water. Optimized for short range performance, the Lotic is made for dry flies and delicate presentations. If you’re an avid backpacker or small stream angler, this 3-piece fly rod is a must.
Three Piece Fiberglass Blank - The Lotic’s blank is made with a high-performance fiberglass build that maximizes short range performance. These glass fibers are combined with a progressive flex profile and rod taper to create a blank with fiberglass feel and graphite performance. T&T’s research and development have shaped a blank that performs near the top of the fiberglass rod market.
ECOating Snake Guides - ECOating snake guides are similar to regular snake guides with a coating that decreases friction and maximizes performance. These guides are the Snake brand’s latest in fly guide technology.
Bright Milled Aluminum w/Uplocking Component and Cork Spacer - The reel seat on the Lotic keeps it lightweight and functional. A cork spacer decreases rod weight while milled aluminum componentry anchors smaller fly reels. This reel seat compliments the classic feel of the rod.
Aluminum Rod Tube - The Lotic 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.
