11/11/2021 – The Scott S4 fly rods have been discontinued
I tested the new Scott S4 907/4 fly rod last night and …. I am impressed.
Powerful Rod – Cast the entire SA Sharkskin fly line with a moderate breeze blowing from left to right. Strong yet delicate and very responsive.
Delicate Enough – Not so “stiff” an action that you will break off fish on lighter tippets (attn: steelheaders and deep nymphers)
Not a Dry Fly Rod – If you want to cast #20 BWO’s or #22 Midges forget it – but who wants to do that with a 7 weight anyway?

- More Information
Overview: The S4 Series is a fast action series for the serious angler who either prefers a faster action rod or requires a faster action for their specific application. The rod I tested was a 7 weight -our primary Smallmouth Bass Rod size. I feel this rod will preform well in any situation that calls for a 7 weight (Big Rainbow Trout, Big Brown Trout, Smallmouth Bass, Heavy Streamer or Nymph Fishing, etc.). Would I use this rod myself? Yes definitely, just as soon as this cold snap goes away…..
