The brand new Sextant Flagship Saltwater Series rod from Thomas & Thomas perfectly balances cutting through harsh winds while also delicately presenting flies in front of big tarpon or elusive bonefish.
New Tech
As technology and performance continue to push the limit of possibilities, the end goal for a fly rod remains the same. We seek to cast a fly line with ease and accuracy – to deliver our best artificial imitation at the right time and in the right place to convince the fish to eat. In saltwater fly fishing, fly presentation and placement are often as critical as when casting tiny imitations to fussy selective trout. But there is also a need for power; both to face into the wind so commonly encountered and to turn the heads of the largest fish.
T&T's extensive research and development created a rod that reloads faster while maximizing strength and recovery through premium graphite construction. Titanium-framed stripping guides combined with Silicone Nitride reduces friction and allows your line to shoot with ease in the toughest conditions. The semi-gloss-blue finish mixed with dark blue thread wraps and seafoam green accent wraps provide a smooth touch on the rod, desiring the angler to constantly seek hungry predators at sea.
