Thomas & Thomas Avantt II Seatrout Singel Handed Fly Rod
Thomas & Thomas rods have been handcrafted on American soil in Greenfield, MA since 1969 and enjoy worldwide recognition for their high-end fly rods, which boast absolutely perfect finishes.
The Thomas & Thomas Avantt II is the next generation of the extremely popular and almost perfectly crafted T&T Avantt fly rod. And this new generation of Avantt seamlessly continues this high standard, both in craftsmanship and performance! The blank of the Avantt II is made from 5 different types of premium fibers, which undergo a modern and highly qualitative manufacturing process for bonding. The fibers are bonded using T&T's proprietary aerospace resin system to effectively close microscopic voids. The fibers are aligned at strategic angles to give the blank outstanding performance with a smooth-fast action. These ingenious manufacturing steps in rolling the blanks ensure that the new Avantt II has a highly balanced blank, which convinces with unparalleled smoothness and efficiency in loading the rod. In practice, this means that the rod provides an incredible feel right from the first false casts and enables an impressive, precise casting distance effortlessly!
The components used and the craftsmanship of the new Avantt testify to the highest quality and attention to detail. The titanium rings of the T&T rod are hand-wrapped onto the blank with extreme precision and flawlessly painted with a semi-gloss finish. Each part of the 4-piece rod is marked with the number of the batch used, ensuring that each part was 100% made from the same materials in Greenfield and will be remanufactured in the event of a warranty claim! The grip of the Avantt II is made of pore-free cork and very high-quality cork, which is ground in a new special Wells shape. This shape provides optimal grip and ingenious control over the cast, no matter how you hold the fly rod. For extra secure grip, the aluminum reel seat with heavily knurled lock nuts ensures that they can be tightened with particularly strong grip.
The Thomas & Thomas Avantt II has managed to surpass the already ingenious, handcrafted Avantt fly rod of the first generation. The blank of the Avantt II, with its typically smooth, fast action characteristic of T&T, convinces us across the board. It offers not only a great deal of feel and high precision but also unparalleled tranquility in the cast and maximum distance in the throw without exertion. These characteristics, together with high-quality components and the ingenious, timeless design of the Avantt II, make this Thomas & Thomas fly rod to a real shooting-machine and one of the best rods for the coast, the lake or river.

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!
