Ask a group of experienced anglers to name the greatest dry fly rod of all time, and the T&T Paradigm is sure to be mentioned more than once. Over twenty years later, Thomas & Thomas followed the same inspiration that made the original into a legend to create a new Paradigm for the 21st century.
The new release of the Paradigm has been getting plenty of attention, with FlyFisherman magazine bestowing the "Best New Dry Fly Rod" award to it in 2020.
