“This year, we proudly celebrate our 50th anniversary. Its been a journey filled with fun, firsts, camaraderie, and a half-century of handcrafting high performance fly rods.

In contemplating the most fitting tribute to the anglers who fish Scott rods, the rodsmithsthat craft them, and the rod designs of Harry Wilson, Larry Kenney, and Jim Bartschi, we picked one rod from each decade that exemplifies Scott innovation and, in some way, changed the way we fish.

Each was chosen from an award-winning series of Scott rods that are even more celebrated by the anglers who fish them. For those anglers, these are never part with rods.

Rather than replicating the originals, we decided to build the blanks to spec with a resto mod approach to finishing them. They will be instantly recognizable to Scott history buffs, but were introducing some new surprises by finishing them with todays best-in class components and construction techniques.

In celebration we offer these tribute fly rods with a heartfelt thank you to the whole Scott family.”

When graphite arrived on the scene in the mid 70s, Wilsons light bulb moment was to envision a long light line rod using the new material. When he told friends in the fly fishing community about his idea, they said it couldnt be done.

Not to be deterred, he forged ahead. After manychallenges and attempts, Scott released the first 9 foot 4line graphite rod. It changed fly fishing.

Anglers had a new tool to fish long leaders and small flies on technical rivers like the Henrys Fork, Hat Creek, andParadise Valley spring creeks. Anglers could control drag,fish light tippets, and engage large trout like never before.

To this day, the G904/4 is named among the finest light linefly rods ever built.
