Contact III+ blank construction utilizes premium quality carbon and fiberglass fibers, bound together by our proprietary aerospace resin system. Aligning these fibers at strategic angles as we roll Contact II blanks improves accuracy, sensitivity, and strength. Components have been carefully selected to maximize performance and comfort. Improved guide spacing moves a “Low Rider” style stripping guide to the butt section of each Contact II, which decreases line sag from the angler’s hand to the first guide. 

Features:

All models except the Contact III+ 1086 (6wt) will come with two tips, one tubular tip and one solid tip. 

Premium Flor grade cork grips with ¼” composite nose increases feel and bite transmission.

Matte black downlocking hardware updated with two locking nuts, complemented with T&T’s trademark roll stamped logo and burled wood spacer. 

Gunmetal light wire single-foot running guides, with one nickel titanium bendable snake guide under the tip top to reduce line wrap.

On 10’ 9” and 11’5” models, the guide sizing has been reduced to increase line control.  The added number of guides on the rod reduce line sag.  The 10’ models have appropriately sized guides for weight forward fly lines. 

Black double-foot high-frame stripping guide provides a more acute angle from stripping guide to reel to reduce drag when the rod is under load.  The stripping guide has been further lowered on the rod in order to reduce line sag. 

Insect green and goldenrod thread wraps.

Black hook keeper and winding check

Contact III+ 1086 has a full wells grip and full metal black reel seat, this rod does not come with solid tip. This rod is primarily designed for migratory fish.
