Thomas & Thomas FLY RODS
Thomas and Thomas are one of the most respected and well known names in the rod making industry.
Their rods are still being designed by the legendary Thomas Dorsey, one of the original Thomas' and their quality and functionality are very hard to match.
In spite of this they have not been easy to get hold of here in the UK (& not widely available anywhere) and they certainly should be .... sounds like a job for The Alternative Tackle Company?

Fly fishing and the art of rod making inspired Tom Dorsey to co-found Thomas & Thomas Rod makers. That inspiration has taken Tom on a 40-year journey of design, development and creation with a passion that still burns to this day. His unique vision has led Thomas & Thomas to the forefront of fly rod design.
Over four decades at Thomas & Thomas our passion has helped define the history of fly fishing through both our dedication to craftsmanship and to the cutting-edge, pioneering technology that is at the very heart of the company. It’s the combination of material science and our obsession for inspired rod design that makes Thomas & Thomas
fly rods the world’s finest. We make rods that help you intuitively cast nine feet
to ninety feet, with actions uniquely designed into each series that synthesise the latest science with knowledge from a lifetime on the water. The T&T feel, the special magic of every rod that Tom designs, is why owning a Thomas & Thomas fly rod is so remarkable.
Pick up a dual-helix graphite Apex, Helix, Whisper Lite, Horizon II or Paradigm and you will be holding a work of art. Every T&T rod has a flawless finish, precisely aligned snake and stripping guides, hand-sanded grip and a reel seat made with the finest components in the indus- try. We build eight distinct graphite rod series that target the widest range of casting styles -- over one hundred mod- els -- each with a unique taper tailored
to its line weight. And one rod that is perfectly matched for your favourite spot.
Anglers, especially fly fishers, are a breed apart: always searching for maximum performance, but at the same time respectful of the past. Pick up a T&T rod today, become part of the history, experience the performance and passion that is Thomas and Thomas.
It’s not just a fly rod, it’s our OBSESSION.
Thomas & Thomas rods are more than dual-helical, high modulus graphite, premium Portuguese cork, machined aerospace grade aluminum, and nickel silver components. Every T&T rod is the culmination of 40 years on the water, testing cutting-edge ideas; 40 years analyzing the engineering of taper design and material science; and 40 years raising research and develop- ment to an art form.
Decades of investment in science, people and process with one focus: to create the finest, most technologi- cally superior fly rods in the world – rods that turn your time on the water into memories passed down for generations.
T&T’s proprietary dual-helical graphite uses left and right opposing rotational fibers to inhibit blank compression and twisting. Result: Rods with increased strength, outstanding casting range, and industry-leading laser accuracy.
