MULTI-APPLICATION / FAST ACTION For most of us, an idyllic day on the water is not when we’re thinking more, but when we’re thinking less. Finding that state of fishing in the moment, where instinct and experience bring us to an almost zen-like awareness of each subtle motion and movement—that’s what R8 CORE is all about. It’s not a race or a competition, but a state we all aim to reach out on the water. With R8 CORE we enhance that two-way connection from hand to fly and back for greater feel, flow and control. This Amplified Two-Way Feedback Loop, due to our new axial fiber formulation, allows you to feel when the power needs to be applied throughout the cast, presentation, and when applying the appropriate pressure to fish - ultimately giving you the angler Complete Control.

R8 CORE is focused on maximum versatility and applies new revolutionary material technology through our forward-thinking lens of what we’re seeing out on the water, where one rod needs to show even greater range. At its core, R8 CORE traces a direct lineage to Sage’s multi-application vision, one shaped by the fishing evolutions happening all around us—from habitats we stalk and waters we frequent, to the flies we fish and the diversity of species we now target.

Introducing the new Centric series fly rods. Scott put the feel in fast action rods. Now we’re taking it to the next level. Cutting edge Centric series fly rods deliver new levels of stability, recovery speed, and range, while giving anglers tons of feedback through the easy flexing tip sections and highly transmissive blanks.

These are the most efficient rods Scott has ever created. Flat, stable, high line speed loops are easily generated at any distance with minimal effort from the caster.
For anglers of any skill level, these rods feel very light in the hand, are insanely accurate, and are simply a joy to fish at any distance.

Ease of roll casts and mends is next level. The ability to control loop shape and line speed at any distance give anglers wide-ranging versatility. Centric rods combine new tapers and multi-modulus lay ups with a new resin system to increase fiber density and reduce weight, and they feature our new generation ARC reinforcement for greater stability along multiple axes.

New custom rolling equipment allows us to control fiber placement and density with new levels of precision. And just to top it all off, we designed new standard-setting componentry for Centric rods that redefine functionality, durability, and beauty.

Scott Centric rods are fit with Flor grade cork, new titanium stripping guides with super slick zirconia inserts, new low glare Snakebrand Universal snake guides, and a new fully milled reel seat featuring speed threads, easy grip knurling, self-indexing hoods, micarta inserts, a special Delrin lock washer, and type 3 flat black hard coat.

Centric rods retail for $995 and are available in models ranging from 8.5’ to 10.0,’ in line weights 4 to 7. All Centric rods are 4 pieces and come in an embroidered cloth bag and premium aluminum rod tube.

Scott Centric rods are handcrafted in the USA from the finest materials.

The Story

Everything you love about Air 2 technology in a new 10' length. All of these models excel at multiple fishing situations, but the Nor Cal special is the 10' 4-weight configuration, which allows the angler to tackle our brushy streams with easy roll casting and next level high stick nymphing. Want to throw dry flies? No problem, it retains plenty of finesse and accuracy for when the hatch comes off. Streamers? Sure! Casting and fishing smaller streamers are a breeze with a 10 footer in hand. Believe the hype.

The flagship of the next generation all-around freshwater fly rods (3wt-6wt), the Boron AIR 2 might just be the most capable freshwater tool of all time. These rods can do anything – present tiny dry flies to wary trout on flat water, cast a streamer to the far bank in the wind, launch the entire line when you need it, and make quick, accurate close-range shots. 

As soon as you make your first casting stroke, you will feel the sensitivity, refined power and effortless accuracy are all cranked to 11. The rod feels alive in hand, like an extension of your body, rather than a simple tool. Casting this rod will fire off all your dopamine receptors and make you forget about every other rod you own. 

From high stick nymphing, to pounding the banks from the boat, or wet wading, the versatility is incredible. A pack rod, a travel rod, a boat rod, a spring creek rod, and an all-around rod, the AIR 2 is your huckleberry. When you can only bring one rod, choose the amazing new Boron AIR 2. You won’t want to leave home without it. Now is the time. 

• Handcrafted in Twin Bridges, MT

• A New taper design that provides a faster, progressive all-around action. Extremely light, yet powerful.
• Introducing S-2000 a next generation high modulus graphite material for faster recovery speed and smoothness
• New Boron Configuration for enhanced power and energy transfer.
• New Winston-designed cigar grip for better “feel” through the casting stroke
• The Custom HSR (High Strain Rate) resin provides an even faster recovery rate that adds a modern feel, is more durable, and provides greater part strength and less weight.
• The new light wire shooting Snake Guides have a smaller profile with new ECO slick coating and a Round Helix geometry that reduces line friction and produces added energy, accuracy, and distance management.

Edgy environmental factors like sustained wind, complex hydraulics, and natural structure all pack the potential to punish productivity. With favor stacked in nature's corner, level the playing field with fishing tools forged to conquer these, and other common variables. With a primary focus of maximizing versatility, these adaptable actions improve angler capability and expand tactical opportunity in difficult fishing situations. Rolled with our most advanced compound taper construction to date, NRX+ provides the power, line speed, and loop stability expected from modern fast-action rods, without compromising "feel" and finesse in the short game. This means, regardless of casting distance or difficulty, NRX+ empowers anglers with confidence-boosting control in less-than-ideal situations.

Thomas & Thomas is excited to announce the release of the highly anticipated Avantt II, a fully redesigned second generation of T&T’s acclaimed Avantt series.

These fast-action rods incorporate five different premium fibers bound together by our proprietary aerospace resin system. Aligning these fibers at strategic angles as we roll Avantt II blanks improves strength while enhancing recovery and damping, allowing for precise tip control. With highly balanced tapers designed to optimize these advanced materials, the Avantt II loads with unmatched smoothness and efficiency, generating high line speeds and making accurate casts at all distances seem virtually effortless. Components have been carefully selected to maximize performance and comfort, including a new Special Wells Grip.

Please Note: All T&T rods are handcrafted in Greenfield, MA.  Please allow up to 4 weeks for our craftsman to build your rod. Some models may be available sooner.
