Thomas & Thomas Paradigm Fly Rod

 

Like many rod manufacturers in contemporary fly fishing, T&T has come out with a moderate action dry fly specific rod. The Paradigm series features the technology we’ve come to love from T&T with a classic appearance that reminds anglers of the Paradigm rods of old. New REC guides and expertly chosen componentry contribute to the rod’s lightweight design and medium-action performance. For all you dry fly enthusiasts out there who were distraught when T&T discontinued the old Paradigm… fear not. This rod will surpass all of your expectations.

 

Blank

Proprietary StratoTherm Resin - T&T’s proprietary StratoTherm tech produces rods that are accurate and lively. The blank of the Paradigm is light and responsive with high recovery speeds and vibration dampening characteristics. The rod blank’s power translates to high performance at longer casting distances without sacrificing performance at close range. These rods are the perfect combination of delicacy and finesse. The blank is finished with a low-friction, semi-gloss blue surface finish.

 

Guides

Titanium-Finish REC Stripping Guides - The titanium-finish REC stripping guide on the Paradigm is lightweight. This stripping guide also allows anglers to fire off effortless casts and wrangle any fish with ease.

Single Foot REC Guides - Single-foot REC guides keep the Paradigm lightweight and durable. These guides offer less friction than traditional snake guides.

 

Reel Seat

USA Sourced Bird’s Eye Maple Spacer w/Uplocking Component - T&T sources the beautiful maple reel seat insert from the USA on the Paradigm. These inserts give the rod a classic freshwater aesthetic while remaining functional and durable. A single uplocking component keeps the rod lightweight and anchors freshwater reels.

 

Rod Tube

Aluminum Rod Tube - The Paradigm 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.

 

Warranty

T&T Lifetime Warranty - As of November 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.
