Thomas & Thomas Avantt II

The Avantt II retains the signature fast action of the original but improves upon it with a more refined, smoother loading process. By utilizing a new five-fiber construction and proprietary resin system, the rod achieves better recovery and damping, which results in more precise tip control during the cast.

The new Flor grade Special Wells grip is designed for improved ergonomics and comfort during long days on the water. It provides a secure, natural feel that helps maintain consistent hand placement, which is crucial for accuracy and reducing fatigue.

While the Avantt II is a high-performance tool, its smooth loading characteristics make it surprisingly accessible. It generates high line speeds with less effort, which can actually help developing casters learn to time their strokes more effectively.

This is a versatile fast-action rod designed to excel in a variety of conditions. Its ability to generate high line speeds and maintain accuracy at both short and long distances makes it an excellent choice for everything from technical dry fly fishing to throwing larger nymphs or streamers.

The rod features Black Chrome Snake Brand Universal Snake Guides and a black titanium-frame stripping guide with a Zirconia ceramic insert. This combination is chosen for durability and reduced friction, allowing your fly line to shoot through the guides smoothly for longer, more accurate casts.
