Thomas & Thomas Exocett Predator 9’4″ 450 Fly Rod Rods

The Exocett Predator rod is specifically designed to meet these demands. Increased length of 9′ 4″ facilitates longer overhead casts and keeps the fly deeper on the retrieve. A powerful rod tip easily lifts wet flies from the water and supports loop shape while casting the largest flies behind 350-500 grain sinking and ultra-compact floating lines. The grip is an elongated full wells with a generous rubberized composite reinforcement on the higher impact upper grip. A large flare full wells and elongated fighting butt facilitate comfortable grip points to execute a boat side figure 8, and T&T’s proprietary Strato-Therm resin ensures Exocett Predator rods can absorb the most vicious boat side attacks.

Hardware appointments include matte black roll stamped reel seat, gunsmoke colored RECoil snake guides, and black titanium frame stripping guides.

In our opinion, this rod not only makes a great rod for muskies, but it is a favorite of ours for fishing big flies for striped bass in the northeast. The extra length helps shore-bound anglers with getting a little more distance on the cast with large flies. 

• Includes aluminum rod tube with machined bar-stock aluminum collar and cap. Blue powder-coat with pewter Thomas & Thomas logo.
