New Scott F2 Fiberglass rods
Urgent Message from Scott HQ regarding new Fiberglass Rods. We will be taking pre-orders for these rods starting next week. Watch for details on our e-mail newsletter.

This year we’re introducing a full new line up of glass rods that both improve performance and pay homage to our long history with the material.
Scott has been handcrafting high performance rods made from fiberglass longer than any other company. We’re approaching our 40th year designing and building fly rods with fiberglass.
We feel that glass is uniquely suited to fishing applications that call for close range casts, and offer more fun and enjoyment when targeting small fish.
This series of rods incorporate a new S-glass fabric weave with a highly biased fiber distribution and combine that with a new epoxy resin system. The blanks are joined using Scott hollow internal ferrules.
These design features allowed us to significantly decrease the perceived weight of the rods, and get a smoother deeper bending rod curve that recovers more quickly than previous glass rods.
This means the rods can be very light with out sacrificing accuracy or losing control of the cast.
As a tribute to our innovative designs in glass rods during the early ‘70s, we’ve gone back to our traditional yellow/honey colored glass, light brown wraps and touches like finish cork on the grips and cork insert reel seats.
Models come in the following sizes and are priced at $595.00:
6’0” 2 Weight/3 Pieces
6’6” 3 Weight/3 Pieces
7’0” 3 Weight/3 Pieces
7’7” 4 Weight/3 Pieces
8’2” 5 Weight/4 Pieces
