Product Details


After nearly three years of design and development, T&T is excited to announce the release of the highly anticipated Contact II series. Contact II rods are a fully redesigned second generation of T&T’s Contact rod series.


T&T's Contact II blank construction utilizes five different types of premium quality carbon and fiberglass fibers, bound together by our proprietary aerospace resin system. Aligning these fibers at strategic angles as we roll Contact II blanks improves accuracy, sensitivity, and strength. Components have been carefully selected to maximize performance and comfort. Improved guide spacing moves a "Low Rider” style stripping guide to the butt section of each Contact II, which decreases line sag from the angler’s hand to the first guide.

Features
  • Optimized guide spacing with lowered stripping guides to decrease line sag between the hand and first guide
  • Increased backbone power to improve hook sets and assist landing larger fish
  • Extra dense premium Flor grade cork grips increases feel and bite transmission
  • Black RECoil single foot snake guides
  • Black hook keeper and winding check
  • Black "Low Rider” style stripping guide keeps line tighter to blank for improved strike transmission and accuracy
  • New low-profile rounded fighting butt for balance and comfort
  • Stealthy brown and olive thread wraps.
  • Downlocking reel seat is standard on 2wt - 4wt models
  • Uplocking, all-metal reel seat and full wells grip standard on 1086 model

"Perfect"

Ethan Young on 4/14/2023 12:56:09 PM

Review: This is the best euro nymphing rod I’ve ever picked up. They really nailed the design, I can’t think of a single thing I’d change. Maybe the price, but I guess that’s what a premium rod costs today. I can fish all day without a sore shoulder, it’s like an extension of my arm. The longer version of the two weight opens up additional reel possibilities. I ended up with a Bauer, but the Redington Tilt also balances beautifully I just find it aesthetically unpleasant. TILT!

"Great fly rod, love it!"

John White on 4/17/2022 8:00:25 AM

Review: The T&T Contact II is a great fly rod. Easy to cast, very sensitive when feeling strikes and the build quality is outstanding. The Gorge fly shop staff were wonderful in helping me select a Nymphing rod. I highly recommend the rod and the shop!

"T and T Contact II"

Matthew Leman on 4/11/2022 10:14:37 AM

Review: Such a dramatic improvement over my starter Cabelas euro nymph rod! Paired with a Redington Tilt reel and shoulder pain disappeared immediately. Can do it all day. Accuracy, even with micro leaders, is awesome. Tip sensitivity is off the charts. Can actually feel trout eat the fly in real time. Handles big tailwater fish on 5 and 6X tippet no problem. Spendy rod, but worth it for sure.

"The Best ESN Rod"

Jeff Kruger on 2/10/2022 9:27:42 AM

Review: The Contact II is a beautifully finished, extremely sensitive rod, ideal for Euro style nymphing. As always, the customer service from Gorge Fly Shop was stellar.

"Great rod"

Brian Tugend on 10/4/2021 8:34:58 PM

Review: Pulled the trigger and picked up the T&T Contact II in 10’9” 3wt. I’ve fished with it for a month and I am happy with the purchase. Gorge Fly Shop fulfilled the order day of purchase and it was delivered in 3 days (Oregon to Pennsylvania). Overall, good experience and would recommend rod and fly shop to other anglers.
