Fly Fish Mart Thomas & Thomas Rods

Thomas & Thomas has always been known for craftsmanship and quality. Every component of their rods is top-of-the-line from tip to butt. The cork is of the finest quality and the perfect thread wraps compliment the deep blue tone of the blank. The reel seats are manufactured by T&T and are extremely smooth and solid.

The rods are perfectly straight, the finish is flawless and the casting action is very crisp. Each rod hand made by hand and each section is individually serial-numbered. Thomas & Thomas rods have that "custom" look and feel that is so often lacking from rack model production rods. Thomas & Thomas got their start in the 1960's building top quality bamboo rods (which they still make). The company is located in Greenfield, Massachusetts and is run by Tom Dorsey, a man who demands 100% perfection. Employees will tell you with pride that uncompromised craftmanship and quality go into every rod they make.
