Scott GT Series Fly Rods
The legend evolves. The all-new Scott GT is lighter and livelier than past G-series rods, yet it retains the smooth, progressive feel, exquisite feedback, and tippet protection that anglers have trusted for nearly 50 years.
Why You'll Love It
- Remarkable feel & control: Ultra-thin-walled blanks transmit subtle takes and micro-movements while keeping casts stable and accurate.
- Faster recovery, higher line speed: X-Core multi-modulus layups and ARC2 multidirectional fibers boost stability and accuracy without adding weight.
- Seamless multi-piece performance: Updated hollow internal ferrules are ~20% lighter and flex in sync with the blank - 4 and 5-piece rods that feel nearly one-piece.
- Refined craft: Milled aluminum reel seats (Type III hard coat) with cocobolo inserts, Flor-grade cork, titanium-framed zirconia no-tangle strippers, and Snake Brand Universal guides.
- Handbuilt in Colorado: Handcrafted, hand-inscribed, and serialized in Montrose, CO.
Technology
X-Core design with multi-modulus graphite and ARC2 multidirectional fibers increases stability and tracking while keeping weight down. New hollow internal ferrules reduce mass, allowing the sections to flex and recover together.
