From Scott Fly Rods:
"This year, we proudly celebrate our 50th anniversary. It’s 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 rodsmiths that 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 we’re introducing some new surprises by finishing them with today’s 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 70’s, Scott founder Harry Wilson’s 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 couldn’t be done.
Not to be deterred, he forged ahead. After many challenges and attempts, Scott released the first 9 foot 4 line graphite rod. It changed fly fishing.
Anglers had a new tool to fish long leaders and small flies on technical rivers like the Henry’s Fork, Hat Creek, and Paradise 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 line fly rods ever built.
Scott 50th Anniversary fly fishing rods are a limited launch and are inscribed by Scott as a "50th Anniversary Edition" on the handle section.
