The Next Legend in Presentation: All-New Scott GT Series Fly Rods
For nearly 50 years, the Scott G Series has defined what a medium-action fly rod should be. It’s a legacy built on industry firsts and unmatched on-the-water performance. Now, Scott Fly Rods takes that iconic heritage into the future with the all-new Scott GT Series.
Lighter, sportier, and remarkably responsive, the Scott GT retains the soul, smooth progressive action, and elite tippet protection of its predecessors, while injecting cutting-edge technology into every blank. If you love technical dry fly fishing and ultimate presentation, the GT is your new gold standard.
Cutting-Edge Technology Meets Heritage Performance
Scott didn't just tweak a classic; they re-engineered it from the ground up. Here is how the Scott GT pushes the boundaries of modern fly rod design:
- Ultra-Thin Wall Construction (X-Core Design): The GT is the first series to debut Scott’s advanced X-Core design principles, resulting in the thinnest-walled blanks the company has ever produced.
- Enhanced Stability and Line Speed: By combining multi-modulus layups with ARC2 multi-directional fibers, the GT delivers faster recovery speeds, tighter loops, and superior accuracy—even in a breeze.
- Next-Gen Hollow Internal Ferrules: The legendary Scott internal ferrule has been overhauled. Now 20% lighter, these updated ferrules flex seamlessly with the blank. The result? Multi-piece travel rods that feel like a seamless, one-piece stick.
- Unrivaled Sensitivity & Transmission: Because of the thinner walls and lighter ferrules, the transmission of feel is extraordinary. You will feel every headshake, subtle take, and micro-movement of the line.
Premium Components & Handcrafted American Quality
Every Scott GT rod is built with zero compromises, featuring:
- Milled aluminum reel seats with a rugged Type 3 hard coat
- Stunning, select Cocobolo wood inserts and premium Flor-grade cork grips
