Scott Fly Rod G Series Rod – 50th Anniversary

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 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 Henrys 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.
