Commenting on the launch of these new products, new co-owner of T&T, Mark Richens said.
“The revitalization of the Thomas & Thomas product line-up continues, with 2014 another big year for new product introductions. We now have leading edge products across all key areas from light presentation trout rods, through to the largest two-hander’s and everything in between.
We have focused upon three key areas – blank technology, market leading components and refined but contemporary cosmetics and have made breakthrough improvements in each area. Most of our rods now feature latest generation high modulus materials with improved binding resins. We’ve reduced the weight of all components and spec’ed our rods to the max with exotic wood spacers, titanium stripping guides on all models and either Snake Brand Universal or RECoil guides across the board. “

(Note: From time to time I will publish new product listings for the general interest of anglers, but I personally do not endorse any fly fishing products at all. The merit of any product is up to the individual angler to establish. That way – apart from the sale of my books and my art – this website remains entirely non-commercial. Tom Sutcliffe)
