Thomas & Thomas Announces the Release of Exocett Saltwater Fly Rods
Greenfield, MA – October 1, 2016. USA fly rod maker Thomas & Thomas is pleased to announce that Exocett series fly rods are now available for purchase in fly shops world-wide.
Developed to meet the challenges of the most demanding species and destinations, T&T’s Exocett Series of high-performance saltwater fly rods are infused with the exceptional strength and dampening characteristics of our proprietary StratoTherm Resin.
These light-weight rods are defined by a powerful, fast-dampening action that lifts line off the water with ease, and a thin-diameter top section that slices through the wind for quick and accurate casts. Once hooked-up, Exocett rods support anglers with immense strength and reserve power to battle and land the baddest fish on the planet, from giant trevally to tarpon.
Key Features:
- Powerful, quick dampening rod action. Four piece multi-modulus graphite blank incorporating Thomas & Thomas’ latest proprietary composites and curing process.
- Low Friction Finish (LFF) in stealth matte blue extends casting range.
- Choice of titanium-frame ceramic stripping guides or RECoil strippers, all rods standard with RECoil snake guides.
- Powder coated aluminum rod tube with precision milled cap and collar.
- Hand made one at a time in Greenfield, Massachusetts, USA. The Exocett is available in seven models, all 9 feet in length and line weights 6 through 12. All rods feature anodized aluminum up-locking reel seat, blue wraps with white accents, and full wells grips of select Flor-grade cork. Priced from $895 to $925, Exocett rods are available in fly shops now.
