Scott GT Series Fly Rods

Scott has proudly unveiled its newest iteration of this iconic rod series-the Scott GT, a regeneration of its iconic G Series, unmatched in longevity, fished the world over, and passed down through generations.

The New GT rods are lighter and sportier than their predecessors yet still possess smooth progressive actions, tremendous feedback, and incredible tippet protection that have kept dedicated anglers fishing the previous three generations of these rods for almost 50 years. GT rods feature innovations that push them to the forefront of performance while retaining the most cherished attributes of G series rods. For starters one notices the wall thickness and Scott's X-Core design approach. GT rods are the first series to feature Scotts newest X-Core design principles, producing the thinnest walled blanks Scott has ever created. New multi-modulus lay ups combine with Scott's ARC2 multi directional fibers to increase recovery and line speed, giving the rods greater stability and accuracy.

Scott also redesigned the signature Scott hollow internal ferrule, making them up to 20% lighter. These ferrules flex in tandem with the blanks more than any previous series. We at Anglers Lane, featuring Scott since our founding in 1999, have sampled the rods and noticed this change immediately.

Bringing together new thinner walls with new ferrules creates blanks with incredible transmission of feel. The most nuanced movement of a fish or detection of a strike can be felt. What isn't felt are the ferrules connecting each section, making these 4- and 5-piece rods feel almost like they're one piece.

GT rods feature milled aluminum reel seats with type 3 hard coat, beautiful cocobolo wood inserts, and Flor grade cork grips. They also feature titanium framed Zirconia no tangle stripping guides complimented with Snake Brand Universal snake guides.

Note that the 8'4" 3-weight and 8'4" 4-weights are both 5-piece fly rods, perfect for travel or hiding in luggage or briefcase with size limitations.
