Key Features

TITANIUM

Scott constructs their titanium guide frames from materials offering the highest strength to weight ratio and corrosion resistance possible. The result is strong, light and corrrosion resistant guides. Frames are composed of pure titanium and are 65% lighter than equivalent stainless steel guides and 100% corrosion resistant. Silicon carbide (SiC) rings are diamond polished to create the smoothest surface of any ceramic material. Like Scott frames, SiC is resistant to abrasion, corrosion, and thermal shock.

CARBON LINK

Centric rods combine new precision construction techniques with an innovative new resin system to bond carbon fibers in a very dense matrix. The result? An exponentially lighter, more efficient rod that reduces casting fatigue and effort, while improving accuracy and versatility performance. So for any type of cast, Centric rods bring together light weight, fast recovery and feel for unbridled fishing Nirvana.

ReACT

ReAct technology combines X-Core design with a new complex materials and taper system to create a break-through in fast action rod design. Imagine waves vibrating in the rod after the cast has been made to enhance distance, control and accuracy. Simply making the rod stiffer would eliminate the feel. ReAct counteracts energy sapping vibrations by speeding the recovery of the blank without the needing more material to stiffen the rod. This puts the feel in fast. And that’s a really good thing!

X-CORE

X-Core combines the industry’s leading composite technologies with cutting edge design. This ensure enhanced feel, incredible stability and unequalled performance. Diameter is proportional to stiffness and strength, and X-Core, or Expanded Core, technology delivers blanks that transmit feel and maintain stability better than any other design approach. Scott uses fast taper mandrels with low-mass, thin-walled blanks and proprietary ARC reinforcement to create rods that have stiffness with feel, and stability with sensitivity. This innovative design helps the rod come alive in your hands. This approach is superior to the slow taper, thick walled designs that deliver stiffness at the expense of feel.

MULTI MODULUS

Scott pioneered the use of multi modulus fiber lay ups in blank design resulting in fine-tuned flex and recovery. This technology controls the stiffness and recovery speed of blanks by varying the fiber tensile modulus along the length of the rod. This provides a rod that loads and unloads more smoothly.

ARC 2

Over 14 years ago, Scott introduced ultra-light weight unidirectional carbon fiber reinforcements. Scott's Advanced Reinforced Carbon (ARC) adds directional stability and hoop strength while minimizing additional weight. Their new generation ARC is over 35% lighter and sets a new first in ultra-light multi-ply blank construction. This results in even more torsional stability with lighter weight to help your rod track better for greater loop control and pin point accuracy.

MIL-SPEC III

Another breakthrough technology created by Scott, Most reelseats are made with a glossy, thin, and easily marred type 2 anodize. Scratches in type 2 anodize expose the aluminum underneath, leading to worn finishes and potential for corrosion. Scott's Mil-Spec III anodize penetrates the surface of the aluminum, creating the hardest, most durable, and most corrosion resistant finish available. This technology prevents galvanic reactions with dissimilar metals and is resistant to temperatures above 900 degrees Fahrenheit.

NATURAL FINISH

Notice the difference in Scott rods. Scott's Natural Finish is dedicated to making your rod lighter, more durable, and better performing. Most other rods on the market are run through a belt sander, tearing away the outside power fibers of the blank and introducing variance. This can weaken the blank. Also they often add a glossy paint to increase shelf appeal. Scott's Natural finish blanks aren't subjected to the rip through the sanding belt, nor are they covered with heavy paint to add pop. There is natural beauty in graphite. A natural finish blank is built to exacting tolerances. Scott's advanced resin systems permeate the blank, leaving a durable finish that will stand up to years of abuse.

Every Scott rod is made from beginning to end in Montrose, Colorado. Scott takes their mission to handcraft high performance rods very seriously, using knowledge gained from forty years of design experience with the commitment to handcraft every fly rod made to give you top performance and benchmark quality. It's in all the little details that exceptional rods are distinguished from merely good rods.
