The Scott G2 #4 is a sweet rod, very forgiving, but still has a bit of zing.
I think they’re a worth successor to the G’s.If you like the SLT, and are looking for something new, you should also have a cast of the ZXL’s, I have the 2 and the 8’6 #3 and both are brilliant.
The 8’6 #3 does nymphs easy, but I still use the shorter 2 a lot on tighter streams.www.dsaphoto.com
A picture is thousand words that takes less than a second while a thousand words is a picture that takes a month.
Hey Abe –
I have done quite a bit of brushwhacking with both 8’8″ rods and 7’6″ rods in conditions like you see in the Smokies.
Jim Lepage claimed in the latest catalog that his made him a better caster, so, if that helps….
I love mine, hands down my favorite rod I own. If I had the money I would buy one in every weight. And I hear ya on the gold trim. I wish they would have used any other color, but with a gold Batt. LA
Abe…if you’re looking at a small stream four weight and want to look at a different Scott then give the “F” series a look.
Yes…it’s fiberglass…but these are a snappy little fly rod. This series is the most graphite feeling fiberglass rod I’ve ever messed around with. They are on the fast side of glass but when you hook a fish you can feel it into the cork.
I have the seven foot three weight and they also make a seven and a half foot four weight. Worth a look.
