Oct 31, 2024 | Product Reviews | 0 comments

As fall settles in here in Blue Ridge, it’s the perfect time to set up dry-dropper and nymph rigs, and my go-to rod for the job is the Avantt II by Thomas & Thomas. This rod combines power, precision, and ease, making it a top choice for handling larger nymph setups.

Why I Choose the Avantt II for Dry-Dropper and Nymph Rigs

The Avantt II has a strong backbone that effortlessly handles bigger nymph rigs. It creates a smooth, controlled loop, making it easy to cast at a distance with both accuracy and finesse. After my flies hit the water, the rod’s control makes it simple to manage drifts and create that perfect mend, which is essential for a natural presentation.

Highlights of the Avantt II:

  • Backbone Strength: Perfect for casting larger nymph rigs with confidence.
  • Accuracy and Delicacy: Casts precise loops at longer distances with ease.
