Leland on Scott Fly Rods
Founded in 1973, by Harry Wilson, Scott quickly became known for their fine fiberglass fly rods.
However, very soon, they began to experiment with graphite. Within a
few years Scott developed, their signature, tapered hollow internal
ferrule. In the late 1970's Scott's pioneering graphite rod, designed
specifically for salmon and steelhead, was introduced. Further, they
initiated one of the first true quality control rating systems for rod
blanks. The result was greater consistency in rods throughout the
production process.
Scott is a company whose history is filled
with firsts. They were the first rod maker to introduce a five-piece
fiberglass rod. They began to experiment with graphite as early as any
rod maker. Scott was the first rod company to successfully develop and
sell multi-piece graphite rods; and the list goes on and on. This
foresight has lead to a number of developments in production and design
that has made them one of today's industry leaders. The first Scott
series to feature four piece rods in 2-12 weight sizes is the S3
series.
The S3 represents the best tip flex rod Scott has ever
made. Given the overwhelming success of the S3 the team at Scott added
a saltwater series to the line. Having gathered input from dealers and
pros alike, this series will no doubt find itself battling some of the
world’s ultimate game fish. The S3S rods load as quickly as any rod out
there. They are deadly accurate which is good for the angler and bad
for the bonefish. This series features the patented Scott ARC
reinforcement; this addition helps the angler land those trophy fish
you see in all the magazines.
Scott on the Scott T2H Fly Rod Series
Our new series of Technical 2-Handers offer
enthusiasts high performance rods to tackle any double handed fishing
situation. Whether you’re targeting trout with ultra-light rods or
working a salmon run with 1200 grains for the big boys there’s a T2H
rod to help you do the job better. The rods are very light with responsive tips, progressive actions and plenty of power and support in the butt sections. They help eliminate torque from directional changes, and cast very smooth flat lines.
The
2 hand assist rods cover situations where casting and fishing a single
handed rod are enhanced by the ability to use a second hand assist in
casting, and controlling drifts.

- Case/Liner REC aluminum tube with Scott cloth liner
You never get used to how cold it actually feels on the river
this time of year. But, who cares? You know there are fresh chromers
stacked up in the run, and there’ll always be time to thaw out when
daylight fades.
The lie is hard to reach, and the drift is complex. That’s good because that’s where the big fish feel comfortable.
A long snake roll sets the anchor and you launch one. The loop is tight, and the fly turns over perfectly, right into the seam.
As
you swim the fly through the drift, the line comes tight. In an instant
there’s a deep silver fish cartwheeling down the river. Your rod
absorbs the shock, and you know it’s a great day to be on the river.
T2H rods are matched perfectly to today’s line types and casting styles. Very easy and smooth, dial in your game with a T2H.

"The Ultimate Fishing Tool - When you fish a Scott fly rod, you are fishing the
best technology. That's our promise. We know it's our job to
continuously find and apply the latest innovations. It's what we do every day.
Sometimes, we're asked if our graphite is 'better' than other
company's. Our response is 'yeah, but that's only part of it'. We do
use the most advanced fibers, but the resin system that binds them, the
tapers and the patterns the materials are rolled onto, and the
connection system that joins the blank all contribute to performance.
We work closely with the engineers and chemists that create high
performance materials to push new developments and provide them with
feedback. If they're really good and deliver an innovation, we take
them fishing. Then we get busy and incorporate that new technology into
our designs.
That way, you end up with a better fishing tool, and even sometimes
a new way to approach your fishing. You buy a Scott Rod expecting as
much, and we build each Scott Rod delivered on that promise.
Like we said, it's our job."

THE SCOTT DIFFERENCE:
At our company there's a reason for doing what we do.
We call it the Scott Difference. We see it every day at work, preach it
to anyone within earshot and feel it in our fly rods every time we fish.
This mantra, which we call the Scott Difference, is embedded
throughout our workshop and crammed underneath our fingernails at the
end of each day. We perform this act of faith and worship towards
detail because we know it eventually makes its way upstream to our
dealers, and ultimately to you.
And even though you'll hear us talk about the Scott Difference we
actually can't take all the credit. It's a way of doing things that
began with Harry Wilson when he started Scott back in 1974, and has
been evolving in the hands of anyone who has made, sold, or fished
Scott rods ever since. We see it as a 28 year old heritage-in-process
that doesn't sit around the workbench talking about how good the
fishing used to be. And when it's all said and done, we are rod makers and our goal is simple: To handcraft the ultimate fishing tool.
If our customers and friends can't see and feel what they're paying
for then we don't charge for it. The Scott Difference is tangible, and
we can point to it in every rod. The long list starts with hand fit
internal ferrules, individual flex rating, custom graphite, and hand
turned Portuguese cork grips, then keeps on going. Like we said, it's
all about a way of doing things, and it's all about how good the
fishing's going to be.
Now get out there.
