Thomas & Thomas Exocett 88 Fly Rod

Precision Power for Modern Big-Water Fly Fishing

The Thomas & Thomas Exocett 88 Fly Rod is engineered for anglers who demand versatility without compromise. Built to thrive across a wide range of fishing scenarios, the Exocett 88 blends effortless loading with ultra-fast recovery—equally capable of lifting heavy sinking lines or delivering refined, accurate presentations with floating lines. This is a rod designed to adapt instantly, no matter how the conditions change.

Ultra-Fast Recovery with Effortless Distance

At 8'8", the Exocett 88 features a steep taper that generates exceptional line speed and long-distance casting with minimal effort. Its progressive, easy-loading action reduces fatigue over long days on the water while maintaining the precision needed for tight windows and technical shots. Whether you’re fishing from a skiff, wading big rivers, or covering open flats, the 88 responds with speed, control, and confidence.

Advanced Materials, Lighter Swing Weight

Built with proprietary multi-modulus carbon and S-Glass composite layups, the Exocett 88 delivers significantly increased hoop strength compared to previous composites. This translates to improved durability, superior tracking, and reduced swing weight—giving anglers extreme lifting power when needed, without sacrificing accuracy or feel. Clearly marked AFTMA line weights and suggested grain windows further simplify line pairing and setup.
