Product information "Thomas & Thomas Contact Single Handed Fly Rod"

To feel what is going on under the surface, to follow the drift of the nymph and feel the take of trout and grayling, that is sensational! And this is exactly what the nymph rods of the Contact Series from T&T are designed for. These sensitive rods transmit every vibration from the nymph to the fingertip and are an ideal choice if you are into tightline nymphing (Euro Nymphing, French Nymphing).

Contact rods use Thomas & Thomas patented StratoTherm resin, which results in extremely light and responsive rods with excellent durability and strength. And lightness is extremely important in this fishery, as the optimum drift is achieved with a raised, extended rod arm. This is much easier with the Contact than with many other models on the market. The flexible but fast rod tip of the Contact nymph rod eliminates almost all shock waves in the leader after the cast, so that your nymphs can easily get into the water and the detection of fast bites in the sinking phase or early phase of the drift is improved. All Contact rods have a special taper, which is an advantage when setting the hook. A small impulse and a minimal rod movement from the wrist is enough to set the hook successfully. The Contact's taper allows you to fish a wider range of rod positions and angles very effectively, covering more water with less wading. An important point when fishing nymphs in European style. Even when fishing with classic bite indicators the Contact convinces with a great performance. This is also due to the low swing weight and fast recovery of this rod series, which can still develop great power from the lower part. Combined with a DT flying line or a balanced WF line with a medium-length belly, the Contact rod can even bring dry flies cleanly and unerringly onto the water. This is less fun with many other nymph rods, as they often act a little slower overall due to their length. This makes the Contact a versatile rod for lovers of trout and grayling fishing. Thumbs up!

Thanks to the successful combination of well thought-out functionality and first-class craftsmanship, the Thomas & Thomas Contact belongs to the first guard of modern (nymph) rods. A clear purchase recommendation from us!

Tip by adh-fishing

Nymphing - Permanent developments in this area and technical articles in magazines and books have ensured that this method has become increasingly popular in recent years. Some rod manufacturers have reacted quickly to the increased interest and launched special rods for the so-called "Euro Nymphing". One of the first premium manufacturers to take up this challenge is the traditional company Thomas & Thomas from the USA. With the Contact Series, a rod of the latest generation has been developed especially for tight line nymphing.
