Lotic

I own 3 rods…all glass and the 7105 is my go to for streamers especially… everything from big browns to smallies and shad and bluefish in the salt. It fishes a 5 and a 6 equally well with a ton of feedback and strength. Ease up and drop a dry/dropper or cannon out a clouser this rod is a wonder.

I fished the 7’4- 4 weight and was so impressed with the accuracy, smoothness and range.
It handled my 22” rainbow easily and made my day.

I've been fishing the 5wt and the 3wt for a while now, and they've entirely replaced my desire for graphite. I love that I can still cast nearly the entire fly line with the 5wt rod, and there is nothing better than the 3wt on a small stream or dry fly action. These have become my go-to rods. Extremely high quality and perfect feel. I've even caught a ton of silver salmon on the 5wt...its a blast. I'd go glass every time after fishing these rods for months.

My Lotic 7105-3 is a perfect blend of grace and power. It provides tremendous feedback when fishing and is simply a pleasure to cast. Dry flies, small streamers and even panfish poppers all cast equally well with this rod. Delicate dry fly casts? No problem! Reach out and sail a panfish popper across a small cove? Done! Protect light tippets? Like a boss! Deliver an awesome bend-in-the-rod with a fish on that I crave in a glass rod? Absolutely! I tried several rods before buying the Lotic, but it proved to be the right rod: light weight, great medium action with good recovery speed and the feel of a genuine, the-real-deal, glass rod. Finally, the rod is very accurate. I've done some tight-quarters warm water fishing with this rod, tossing small nymphs and poppers into some very tight spots in weed beds and structure, and this rod will place a fly right where you aim every time. I fish the rod with a WF5F line with a more aggressive taper (GPX/MPX) and it works quite well. It will also make good use of a similar style WF6F, slowing the rod down just a bit, and it takes very nicely to a Classic Peach in WF6F. The quality of the rod is exactly what you'd expect from Thomas & Thomas, with top notch components and an absolutely beautiful blank. An impressive rod - well done!
