Claude Monet, Auguste Renoir, Paul Cezanne, Edgar Degas – the masters of French Impressionism. Each purist attempted to record his vision of reality using transient effects of light and color. And for today’s angling purists, like Pro Staff member Martin James, who delight in a fly rod that virtually “paints” the fly on the water, T&T created the Heirloom Series. Heirloom’s action is beyond sweet and subtle; just close your eyes while casting and you’ll feel the smooth recovery of high-end bamboo. Achieved by using the latest generation of high-tech glass fibers, our Heirloom Series is designed to replicate bamboo’s classic action in rich fly fishing tradition. Heirloom Series rods are appropriately finished in earth tones – olive green shafts and paprika colored windings with bright, hand machined reel seat fittings that complete this Thomas and Thomas masterpiece.
