Thomas & Thomas CONTACT II fly rod nymphing blank - the choice of the pros!
After almost three years of development and intensive field testing on the water, Thomas & Thomas presents the Contact II blanks, the continuation of a success story. The first series of T&T nymph rods was already the first choice in the premium segment for many passionate nymph anglers.
What's new:
Compared to their predecessors, the Contact II fly rod blanks have become even more precise and more dynamic. This is due to the new construction, which uses five different types of the highest-quality carbon and glass fibers. Orienting these fibers at strategic angles during rolling improves the accuracy, sensitivity and strength of the blank. The finished blank remains unsanded – partly to save weight and paint. As a result, the ultra-sensitive Contact II is even better able to transmit every slightest vibration from the nymph to your fingertip. That is why the Contact II from Thomas & Thomas is also an excellent choice if you are passionate about tight-line nymphing (Euro nymphing, French nymphing).
Taper & use
The Contact II blanks feature a special taper based on the positive experience with the first generation. However, some models have been adjusted and are now slightly faster – other models have been added to round out the series. With these rods, a small impulse and minimal wrist movement is still all it takes to set the hook successfully.
The Contact II taper makes it possible to fish a wider range of rod positions and angles very effectively, covering more water with less wading. An important point in European-style nymphing. The Contact II also delivers great performance when fishing with classic strike indicators. This is also due to the low swing weight and fast recovery of this blank series, which can nevertheless develop great power from the lower section.
Combined with a DT fly line or a balanced WF line with a medium-length head, the Contact rod can even present dry flies cleanly and accurately. That is less fun with many other nymph rods, which often feel somewhat sluggish overall due to their length. This makes the Contact II a versatile rod for lovers of trout and grayling fishing.
