50th Anniversary Edition

Celebrating a half-century of craftsmanship, Thomas & Thomas is pleased to present our 50th Anniversary commemorative bamboo rod.

A special, limited edition designed and handmade by our master rod builder, Troy Jacques, it pays homage both to his mentors and to T&T history. Troy has gathered some of the favorite design elements of Tom Dorsey, Tom Maxwell and Tom Moran and blended these influences into a rod of unsurpassed beauty and functionality, including these key features:

7 1/2 feet for a 5 weight line in three pieces, medium action

Two matched tips
Bamboo baked to a rich honey color
Distinctive T&T bottle-swell at the butt
Pale orange agate stripping guide
Translucent silk wraps in subtle colors reminiscent of spawning trout
Half-wells cork grip, transitioning to a cork reel seat barrel with bamboo splines
Hand-engraved nickel silver cap-and-ring reel seat, with gold inlay
Hand-engraved micro-ferrules, with T&T "top hat" motif ferrule plugs
Reel seat and ferrules finished with patinated gun-bluing
Saddle-leather case
Limited to ten rods, numbered 1/10 through 10/10
