Building on the proven success of the Contact II, each model retains the familiar action and flex profiles of its predecessor, ensuring a seamless transition for anglers, now with meaningful performance enhancements.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAs modern techniques have evolved to include thinner leader systems, smaller flies, dry-dropper rigs, and jig streamer presentations, T\u0026amp;T has engineered the Contact III+ to excel across this broad spectrum of approaches.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAt the core of the Contact III+ is a new proprietary composite material, resulting in a 100% pure carbon blank that is both lighter and smaller in diameter than previous generations. The reduced cross section decreases air resistance during casting and minimizes wind influence while drifting. This advanced composite also delivers a faster recovery speed, allowing the rod to return to its static position more quickly. The result is longer, more accurate casts with less effort.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEnhanced blank damping further refines performance, virtually eliminating tip bounce and allowing for immediate connection to the flies as they touch down. Together, these refinements provide superior control, sensitivity, and efficiency on the water.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSpecific models within the series have been carefully tuned to meet distinct angling demands. The 1002 and 1092 models are optimized for smaller flies and lighter rigs, while the former 1123 has been replaced by the new 1153—a longer, lightweight rod offering increased sensitivity. The 1153 is ideally suited for competition settings and long-line Euro-nymphing applications. All Contact III+ rods maintain the powerful backbone of their predecessors, providing the strength needed to confidently hook, control, and land large fish.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWith the exception of the 6-weight, all Contact III+ models are supplied with two interchangeable tips: a traditional tubular tip and a new solid carbon tip. This dual-tip configuration not only provides a spare but also expands performance versatility.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe solid carbon tip loads more easily on the cast and delivers exceptional sensitivity during the drift, enhancing bite detection through the sighter and allowing anglers to detect the most subtle takes. It excels with micro leaders, very light and small flies, and dry-dropper techniques, all while offering unmatched tippet protection. Competition anglers in particular will appreciate the reduced number of lost fish when fishing at close range.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe traditional tubular tip is better suited for heavier flies, including jig streamers, and provides improved support for weight-forward fly lines when casting dry flies or dry-dropper rigs. For anglers who prefer to impart action to the fly throughout the drift using the rod tip, the tubular option is the ideal choice.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWith the Contact III+, Thomas \u0026amp; Thomas continues its commitment to innovation, precision, and uncompromising performance for modern fly anglers.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable height=\"204\" width=\"100%\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eModel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRod Weight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eReel Balance range (unloaded weight)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTippet Range\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOverhead Line Wt. \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e10'2wt\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e81g \/ 2.86oz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e113 - 133g \/ 4.0 - 4.7oz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4x-8x\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWF2F or Comp Line\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e10'3wt\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e84g \/ 2.96oz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e116 - 136g \/ 4.1 - 4.8oz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3x-7x\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWF3F\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e10'9\" 2wt\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e86g \/ 3.03oz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e130 - 156g \/ 3.2 - 5.2oz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4x-8x\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWF2F\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e10'9\" 3wt\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e88g \/ 3.10oz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e130 - 156g \/ 4.6 - 5.5oz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3x-7x\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWF3F\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e10'9\" 4wt\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e90g \/ 3.15oz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e133 - 159g \/ 4.7 - 5.6oz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2x - 6x\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWF4F\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e11'5\" 3wt\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e93g \/ 3.23oz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e133 - 159g \/ 4.7 - 5.6oz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3x-8x\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWF3F \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e10'8\" 6wt\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e138g \/ 4.9oz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e155 - 200g \/ 5\/5 - 7.0oz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0x-4x\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWF6F\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Thomas \u0026 Thomas","offers":[{"title":"10' \/ 2wt","offer_id":53366826860843,"sku":"210000034259","price":995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"10' \/ 3wt","offer_id":53366826893611,"sku":"210000034260","price":995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"10'9\" \/ 2wt","offer_id":53366826926379,"sku":"210000034261","price":995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"10'9\" \/ 3wt","offer_id":53366826959147,"sku":"210000034262","price":995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"10'9\" \/ 4wt","offer_id":53366826991915,"sku":"210000034263","price":995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"11'5\" \/ 3wt","offer_id":53366827024683,"sku":"210000034264","price":995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"10'8\" \/ 6wt","offer_id":53366827057451,"sku":"210000034265","price":995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0986\/7391\/8251\/files\/Contact3Rod_Full_1.jpg?v=1777575454"},{"product_id":"exocett-88","title":"Exocett 88","description":"\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eThe new\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExocett™ 88\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eis built to handle a wide variety of fishing situations with precision and ease.
