The offshore environment provides the ultimate challenge for a fly rod. Delivery of the fly must be fast and accurate, yet the rod must also be capable of applying unrelenting pressure against the world’s largest gamefish. Our Bluewater series utilizes a unique combination of resin and fibers along with a special curing process to produce a two-piece rod of unparalleled strength and lifting capability. Tuna, billfish, and sharks are all fair game for these powerful specialty rods.
Features:
- Two piece, multi-modulus graphite blank in the classic T&T blue color.
- Extended fighting grip and butt.
- RECoil stripping guides.
- Pewter-anodized milled aluminum reel seat.
- Green wraps with red edging.
- Includes aluminum rod tube with machined bar-stock aluminum collar and. cap. Blue powder-coat with pewter Thomas & Thomas logo.
Please Note: All T&T rods are handcrafted in Greenfield, MA. Please allow 6-8 weeks for our craftsman to build your rod.
Customer Reviews
I was in the market for a true Bluewater Flyrod for Tuna, Sailfish, and Marlin. I called a few of the premium manufacturers to discuss options. My last call was to T&T, where I was instantly connected with their saltwater expert. I had a few questions, one of which he wanted to pass by their rod designer. After a quick hold, I had all of my questions answered. This call and a few others to complete my semi-custom build were some of the best customer service experiences I've had in the last 20+ years. I felt as if I was in a time-warp taking me back 30 years to a time when manufacturers were real people who cared about and fought for their customers' respect and loyalty. In this day of rollups, consolidations, and the ensuing desecration of all things customer service, I might just have a new partner in fishing...thank you, T&T! I paired the rod with a masterpiece of a reel from another Great American company - Tibor (see photo). PS, the cork grip of the rod comes wrapped with a cool "cigar wrapper" sticker you see proudly adhered to my Tibor Pacific reel.
Ultimately, the fish will tell me if this rod really meets the muster, but so far, I am very happy with the purchase.
