50th Anniversary Edition Fly Rods From Scott

50^th Anniversary Edition Fly Rods From Scott

The Scott Fly Rod Company, which has been handcrafting high-performance fly rods in Colorado for years, has announced the introduction of their new 50^th Anniversary Edition fly rods.

From the manufacturer: “In contemplating the most fitting tribute to the anglers who fish Scott rods, the rodsmiths that craft them and the rod designs of Harry Wilson, Larry Kenney and Jim Bartschi, we picked one rod from each decade that exemplifies Scott innovation and, in some way, changed the way we fish.

Rather than replicating the originals, we decided to build the blanks to spec with a resto-mod approach to finishing them. They will be instantly recognizable to Scott history buffs, but we’re introducing some new surprises by finishing them with today’s best-in-class components and construction techniques.”

Available 50^th Anniversary Edition Models:

1. The Fiberglass 703/4 multi-piece fiberglass fly rod–inspired by Harry Wilson, who founded Scott Fly Rods in 1974, for small stream work. ($995)
2. The G-Series 904/4 light line graphite fly rod–a  9-foot 4-weight fly rod to fish “long leaders and small flies on technical rivers like the Henry’s Fork, Hat Creek and Paradise Valley spring creeks.” ($1095)
3. The ARC 1287/3 two-handed fly rod–a swinging fly classic for salmon and steelhead: “The ARC series of salmon and steelhead rods were the first rods to deploy ultra-light weight unidirectional graphite laid up off the zero-degree axis.” ($1395)
4. The Saltwater STS 909/3 fly rod–the pioneer of Scott’s introduction to saltwater flats fly rods: “STS built on the success of ARC by using multi-directional lay ups and took materials alchemy a step further, utilizing the first multi-modulus blank designs.” ($1195)
5. The Radian 905/4 fly rod–a classic “do it all” fly rod for trout and smaller warm water species: “Through material and design innovations, Radian fly rods solved the dilemma of bringing together fast action with feel.” ($1095)
