Thomas & Thomas DNA Travel Spey 5pc Double Handed Fly Rod
The Thomas & Thomas DNA Spey and Switch rods represent outstanding versatility and unparalleled performance in the world of two-handed fly fishing. Whether it’s long casts with Spey techniques, precise work with Scandi lines, or powerful Skagit casts – these rods excel in every challenge. With various members in the DNA Spey family, including the DNA Classic Spey, Switch, Short Spey, and Trout Spey, Thomas & Thomas offers the perfect tool for every two-handed enthusiast and every water. These handcrafted premium rods from Greenfield, MA, combine innovation, precision, and elegance for demanding fly fishers in search of the best.
The Thomas & Thomas DNA Spey Series embodies the continuous evolution of T&T’s highly regarded range of two-handed rods. These rods were designed for fly fishers seeking a reliable and versatile solution in every situation. Whether on a salmon river, a small sea trout stream, or a fast-flowing steelhead river – the DNA Spey masters every technique with ease, be it Skagit, Scandi, classic Spey casting, or overhead casting.
The Thomas & Thomas DNA Spey Series also includes two outstanding 5-piece travel models in lengths of 14 and 15 feet, specifically designed for anglers seeking greater range and control while valuing compact transport length. The DNA 1409-5 (14’ 0’’) and DNA 1510-5 (15’ 0’’) offer the full performance and flexibility of their 4-piece counterparts despite their 5-piece construction. These rods combine precision and power, making them ideal for fishing larger rivers under challenging conditions, such as the big Scandinavian rivers at the start of the season when waters are higher and colder.
The 5-piece construction ensures a shorter transport length without compromising the exceptional action of the blank, making these rods particularly advantageous for travel. With their progressive, versatile action, these models are perfect for anglers who want to cover a variety of casting techniques – from Spey and Scandi casts to Skagit casting styles. Handling heavy sink tips is also effortlessly managed.
The user-friendly action of these rod models also makes them particularly interesting for casting beginners, as the powerful blank provides substantial feedback, facilitating the learning of casting techniques.
The Thomas & Thomas DNA Spey and Switch rods impress not only with their performance but also with their high-quality craftsmanship and top-notch component selection. The multi-modulus graphite blank with the iconic T&T blue, low-friction finish offers a perfect combination of lightness and stability. The Spey grip provides optimal comfort and control, while the pewter gray, machined aluminum reel seat with a down-locking design combines functionality and aesthetics. High-quality Fuji stripping guides and universal Snake Brand guides with green wraps and red accents ensure durability and style. This masterpiece is completed with an aluminum tube featuring a machined closure and blue powder-coated finish – along with a soft cloth sock for ideal protection of these premium rods.
Every model in the DNA Spey Series is individually designed to meet the demands of various two-handed fishing techniques. Like every Thomas & Thomas rod, the DNA Spey is handcrafted in Greenfield, Massachusetts. Quality, precision, and passion are embedded in each rod – unique creations built to last for generations.

100 % American Hand Made Fly Rods seit 1969! Vor über einem halben Jahrhundert gründete der legendäre Rutenbauer Tom Dorsey zusammen mit Tom Maxwell das Unternehmen Thomas&Thomas mit dem Ziel, unvergleichliche Fliegenruten zu bauen. Heute, ein halbes Jahrhundert später, wird dieses Ziel vom neuen Eigentümer und begeisterten Fliegenfischer Neville Orsmond aber immer noch zusammen mit Tom Dorsey weiter verfolgt. In den letzten 50 Jahren hat das Unternehmen so einige Wandel erlebt und durchlebt. Zum Beispiel den häufigen technologischen Wandel bei der Herstellung von Fliegenruten, aber auch den Wandel der Wertschätzung für handwerkliche Qualität und eine unvorstellbare Akzeptanz unseres Sports, dem Fliegenfischen! Diese Höhen und Tiefen sorgen heute für eine unglaubliche Erfahrung in puncto Rutenbau, die sich auszahlt. Fünfzig Jahre Erfahrung, Neville Orsmond und letzten Endes das unermüdliche Streben nach Innovation, überragender Qualität und kompromissloser Leistung bei der Herstellung der Fliegenruten sorgen heute für die Wiederbelebung der Marke Thomas&Thomas sowie für die wahrscheinlich besten handgefertigten Fliegenruten der Welt – The rod you will eventually own!
