Thomas & Thomas Paradigm Single-Handed Fly Rod
Attention all dry fly enthusiasts: To celebrate the anniversary of the time-honored Paradigm fly rods, the American rod manufacturer Thomas & Thomas is reviving this successful classic. Over 20 years after the initial release of this popular rod series, the new edition presents itself in a harmonious combination of the latest technology and the proven, unique feel. Fly fishers whose hearts leap with the gentle presentation of a dry fly will be absolutely thrilled with the new Paradigm. While sensitivity and precision have been retained, the rod has been catapulted into the present day in terms of weight, line speed, and casting distance. This is, of course, also thanks to T&T's patented StratoTherm resin technology. It is therefore no surprise that this rod series has garnered numerous awards – for example, winning the "Best New Dry Fly Rod" category in the American magazine "Fly Fisherman".
The redesigned Paradigm fly rods produce minimal vibrations during the cast and impress with an incredibly light swing weight. These qualities give the Paradigm a high degree of sensitivity and accuracy, now finally across all casting distances. Throughout the entire cast, this fly rod provides superb line feel and produces tight loops at high line speed, which, thanks to the fast tip, don't break even at long distances. The Paradigm presents the fly flawlessly at close range and shines with pinpoint fly placement, which, thanks to the consistently fast line, lands on the taut leader. This rod is not only a joy to use for casting dry flies, but also fully excels in classic wet fly fishing and light nymphing.
Thomas & Thomas rods have been handcrafted in America since 1996 and enjoy worldwide acclaim, primarily due to their absolutely perfect finish, which extends to the smallest detail. Paradigm fly rods feature a low-reflection, satin-matte blank finish (T&T Blue). The titanium-coated, ceramic-insulated guides and high-quality snake guides are wrapped in transparent blue, giving the rod a classic look.
The new Paradigm is an outstanding fly rod series in the high-end class, offering an enormous fun factor and showcasing exceptional craftsmanship. An unqualified recommendation, not just for dry fly purists! For us, it's the perfect blend of tradition and modernity.
