Thomas & Thomas Exocett-88 Fly Rod 8 wt. (8’8″ 250 Grain)

The new Exocett™ 88 is built to handle a wide variety of fishing situations with precision and ease. With its easy-loading, progressive action, it’s designed to adapt seamlessly—whether you’re lifting and aerializing heavy sinking lines or delivering accurate floating line presentations. 

At 8’8″ with a steep taper, the Exocett™ 88 offers ultra-fast recovery, enabling effortless long-distance casting.

Designed to minimize fatigue, it’s perfect for all-day fishing. Built with proprietary multi-modulus carbon and S-Glass layups, the 88 has significantly more strength than previous composites, giving it superior hoop strength and reducing swing weight. This design provides excellent tracking, precision, and accuracy, along with extreme lifting power when you need it most.

The 88 series also features AFTMA line weight and suggested grain weight labels, simplifying fly line selection.

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.
