The premium manufacturer Thomas & Thomas has been building high-quality fly rods by hand on American soil since 1969. These masterpieces enjoy worldwide recognition thanks to excellent performance and perfect workmanship that extends to the smallest detail. Thus, the new Zone rod series also lives up to the excellent reputation of this unique manufacture - and at a much lower price than you would expect.
Technically and visually, these rods undoubtedly embody the character of Thomas & Thomas top models. This is hardly surprising, because the Zone rod series is also based on the proven StratoTherm resin technology of the unique Avantt and Exocett series. Also the Black Nickel reel seat, the change of the new Zone rods ensures that the series of Zone rods resembles the high-quality models of the Avantt or Contact. In addition, stylish windings in the iconic blue perfectly round out these rods built with high quality components.
The Thomas & Thomas Zone Euro Nymph single handed fly rod is the newest model in the Zone family and we are pleased to announce that T&T is now bringing another nymph rod to the market, in addition to the popular Contact II, and at an attractive price. The Zone Euro Nymph is 10.2 ft long and covers grayling and trout fishing in #2 and #3 perfect classes. Visually the Zone Euro Nynmph is hardly distinguishable from the Zone series, no wonder, materials and components are the same. Only the reel seat has been replaced with a down locking reel seat to better balance the rod and make modern nymph fishing with an outstretched arm easier. Thomas & Thomas itself describes the Zone rod series as a milestone in its own company history, as in the course of its development the manufacturing process was revised to offer the usual premium quality at an extremely attractive price. Much to the delight of numerous fly fishers worldwide, this has been achieved with flying colors. First and foremost, the excellent casting characteristics and the incredibly versatile performance of this fantastic rod series should be mentioned.
In short: Fishing with these rods is a real satisfaction! We're not the only ones who see it that way, which is why, for example, Zone #9 was named "Best of Show Saltwater Fly Rod" during IFTD 2018 in Orlando.

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!
