“A fine rod is a rod that you can love. You’ve really accomplished something when you make a rod that is the one that people want to reach for before all others.” - Tom Dorsey
Ask a group of experienced anglers to name the greatest dry fly rod of all time, and the T&T Paradigm is sure to be mentioned more than once. Over twenty years later, we’ve followed the same inspiration that made the original into a legend to create a new Paradigm for the 21st century.
"The action of these Paradigm rods reaches back to the poetry of flycasting. Spring creek afficianados have described them as having the ability to "paint the fly on the water. These are the rods for the discriminating flyfisher. the angler who delights in the art of presenting flies to wary trout on oft times gossamer tippets.
A progressive taper with extreme tip sensitivity and full-flex action are the hallmarks of T&T's Paradigm Series fly rods.
These rods are designed to load effortlessly while generating smooth, narrow loops in the full range of casting distances.
Whether you are laying down a size 18 dry fly with a whisper or dead-drifting nymphs in deep currents, this fly rod will produce results. State-of-the-art technology allows Thomas & Thomas to build the Paradigm with unparalleled durability and light weight. Specially crafted, ultra-smooth stripping guides help add critical distance to your presentations. A signature silver wire adorns the distinctive T&T blue graphite just above the grip."
LOOKING BACK AT THE PARADIGM IN 2007:
While the advance of technology has pushed the limits of rod weight, line speed and casting distance, the essence of stalking a rising trout and presenting the fly remains unchanged. With this in mind, we set out to capture the unique feel that made the original Paradigm fly rods such a magical instrument.
