Thomas & Thomas DNA Spey 1338-4 - ROD1422

The Thomas & Thomas DNA Spey 1338-4 two-handed fly rod delivers deep loading power and effortless distance for anglers pursuing powerful migratory fish on expansive waters. Purpose built to manage 8-weight lines in an adaptable 13'3" length, this rod commands broad coastal rivers when swinging heavy sink tips and weighted intruders for winter steelhead, chinook, and Atlantic salmon. Built around an Extra Deep flex profile, the blank flexes deeply into the mid and butt sections, making sustained-anchor Skagit casts and touch-and-go Scandi deliveries feel intuitive and forgiving. This progressive taper generates high line speeds with minimal physical strain, easily turning over bulky flies in blustery conditions and providing the leverage needed to steer heavy fish out of fast currents.

Handcrafted in Greenfield, Massachusetts, the DNA series demonstrates the meticulous bench craftsmanship and refined aesthetics that define Thomas & Thomas. The multi-modulus graphite blank is treated with the iconic low-friction T&T blue finish, allowing running lines to glide freely and shoot maximum distance with each sweep. Hardware includes Universal Snake Brand guides and premium Fuji stripping guides, bound by hand with classic green wraps and subtle red edging accents. Down below, a pewter gray milled aluminum down-locking reel seat seats heavy Spey reels securely, properly counterbalancing the 13'3" blank to keep your swing weight light and eliminate shoulder fatigue through full days on the river. The rod is finished with an elongated Spey grip turned from premium flor-grade cork, providing firm, ergonomic purchase in cold, wet weather.
