Scott Fly Rods | http://www.scottflyrod.com
Scott was founded in 1974 by master rod builder Harry Wilson in San Francisco. He named the company Scott in tribute to his son who dared him to build a better fly rod than was commonly available. Being an excellent engineer and angler, Harry soon quit his job as an executive to follow his passion for building fine fly rods.
Since then, Scott has been a leading worldwide innovator in fly rod design. Scott introduced the world’s first nine foot four weight graphite rod, created the first five piece fly rod, and currently is the only premium fly rod company to offer rods built in the three genres of graphite, cane and fiberglass. All of these built one at a time, by hand, in Colorado USA.
Scott has always been a little bit different from the other fly rod manufacturers. Scott has steadfastly refused to involve itself with advertising or marketing that diverted attention away from how the rods were really meant to be assessed…on the water-- whether fresh or salt. The rods will always be designed not through a marketing study, or sales focus groups, but by anglers for anglers. There is a fundamental difference in the feel of the rods and the manner in which they advance the abilities of all anglers. All Scott rods are excellent angling tools, and stand the test of time on the water. Many Scott rods built 2 or 3 decades ago still see daily action on the water.
For 2009 Scott introduces the terrific new A3 series of affordable high performance fly rods. The A3 is a rod that offers great looks, feel, lightness and incredible durability at a great price. This series is one that follows in the tradition of the Alpha, and the A2. It is well rounded, all water, series that is fished by beginners and experts alike.
