Thomas & Thomas Paradigm Single Handed Fly Rod
Dry fly lovers, can we please have your attention: For the anniversary of the traditional Paradigm fly rods, the American rod manufacturer Thomas & Thomas is reviving this successful classic. More than 20 years after the first appearance of this popular rod series, the new edition presents itself in a harmonious combination of the latest technology and proven, unique feel. Fly fishermen who have their hearts set on the gentle presentation of a dry fly will be completely thrilled by the new Paradigm. While sensitivity and precision have been retained, the rod has been catapulted into the present in terms of weight, line speed and casting distance. And of course also due to the patented StratoTherm resin technology from T&T. It is therefore not surprising that this rod series has won many prizes - for example as winner of the category "Best New Dry Fly Rod" in the American magazine "Fly Fisherman".
The redesigned Paradigm Fly Rods produce minimal vibration during casting and impress with an incredibly light swing weight. These characteristics give the Paradigm a high degree of feel and accuracy, and now finally over all casting distances. Throughout the entire cast, this fly rod gives a wonderful line feel and produces tight loops at high line speed, which, due to the accurate tip, do not break down even at long distances. The Paradigm presents flies like a clockwork, even at close range, and shines with precise placement of the fly. The Paradigm is not only a pleasure to use when casting dry flies, but also for classic wet fly fishing or light nymph fishing.
Thomas & Thomas Rods are handmade on American soil since 1996 and enjoy worldwide recognition. Especially because of their absolutely perfect finish, which extends to the smallest detail. Paradigm fly rods come with a low-reflection, silky matt blank finish (T&T Blue). The guide rings with titanium coating and ceramic inlay as well as the high-quality snake rings are wrapped in transparent blue and give the rod a classic look.
The new Paradigm is an outstanding fly rod series in the high-end class, with an enormously high fun factor and enormous craftsmanship. Not only for dry-fly purists an unrestricted recommendation! For us the perfect combination of tradition and modernity.

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!
