Thomas and Thomas Zone Rod Review - 7'6" 3 Weight

The Thomas and Thomas Zone Rod Review - 7'6" 3 Weight

This has become one of our most used small stream rods. It's lightweight, accurate, and can handle a wide variety of fishing conditions you will experience out on our VA small streams! We've been slinging the Zone for about 15 months. This has given me ample time to form my opinion and proclaim my endorsement.

As an all-around rod this is top-class for a mid-range rod. We primarily use it to fish for native brook trout in our small streams, but have used it for warm-water species as well. This would include sunfish, crappie, and even smaller largemouth (usually unintentionally). Biggest fish we've landed on the rod was a 15" largemouth with my daughter last year out on a local farm pond. I took the rod for that one...

If you're on the market for a fly rod that's made in the USA and comes in that $500 price range then look no further! The 3 weight is one of our most popular rods in this bracket so we've tailored this review to that rod.

If you have any questions about any rod in the Zone series don't hesitate to shoot the question our way. I own pretty much every rod in the series and they all have their place.
