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."
The 9'0" 5wt Radian is one of The Fly Fishers' best all time selling models and one we still get calls about from anglers looking for one. Look no more!
Like the G904 forty years earlier, Scott Radian rods fundamentally changed the angling experience. Through material and design innovations, Radian rods solved the dilemma of bringing together fast action with feel. They also showcased a new approach to components that set new standards and made them even more endeared to anglers. When considering which rod from Scott's recent past to offer as an anniversary edition, the choice was clear.
Sworn by many to be the finest fast rod of all time, the R905/4 is the most coveted historical Scott rod model.
Scott 50th Anniversary fly fishing rods are a limited launch and are inscribed by Scott as a "50th Anniversary Edition" on the handle section.
