Nice shots there Eric,
I like the people on the dock in the forground – gives a nice scale.
Fireworks are hard to shoot for sure.I try to avoid them at all costs.. 😀

Hi Spencer,
I have both those rods but haven’t had a lot of time on the water with the 4 yet because it arrived at the end of the seasonwww.dsaphoto.com

Awesome interview – what a cool guy and great insight into a rod company..
Great work Zach..Interesting as well that every time I put one of my Scotts into the Volvo I’m buttering Fords bread on two sides..

Hi Grant,
I have the G 7’6 #2 and it’s been my yardstick for judging the quality of light rods for over ten years.
Also had a throw of a G 8’8 #3 the other day and it’s a great rod.
In the G2’s I have the 7’7 #2 and have had a cast of the 4 weight, both are very nice rods as well.
Scott make great light rods if you ask me.. 🙂

That’s a great lookin reel !
Can you get them new ?I have that sliding band problem with all my little reels on that rod, I think the cut for the foot is a bit shallow – the reels never fallen off however.
I’m now using this little Bougle for the #3 F and the St. George Jr below for the #2 F’s as it’s a little more in keeping with their old world charm and the extra weight of the hardys balances out the tippy weight of the rods a bit better.
The Sage 3100 because of it’s light weight now lives on the TXL #3 and SLT #2 I use when not feeling retro or in the wind. 😉

Hi Spencer..
If you have a pulse you’ll love the F #3, it’s IMO the best rod Scott make and a joy to fish with..I found the S.A. Xps line matches it very well for Australian small streams.. 🙂
Here’s a pick of a Thredbo river brown with mine.
At $300 it’s a steal…

Hi Steve,
Good to know you survived the move !
Hows the new shop ?
Are you going to explain rugby to the locals in Arkansas ?

perhaps scott could release a more attractive g2.
Have to agree with that, I reviewed a G2 7’7 #2 and while it’s a joy to fish with the wraps clash with the blank color..
It’s not as pretty as the G’s.www.dsaphoto.com

I too am a diehard Scott fan. I have an SAS and a Heliply, but the best rod I have ever cast is the STS. It broke my heart when they discontinued it.
Was there a 7’9 #3 in the STS line ?
I had a Scott 7’9 #3 it was a grey blank ( can’t remember the exact model name ) and I broke it and sent it back to Scott – they replaced it with an 8′ #3 S3.
It was a lovely rod, more powerful than a G and a sweet cast.
Mide you the S3 is a nice rod as well.. 🙂

If I can Hi-jack for a second here –
What are some other new glass rods around ?
Here I’ve really only seen the Scotts and one Diamond back.I tried to get a T&T one for a magazine review, but it hasn’t happend yet..
Is there a link – links with a range or something ?
I love the glass rods I’ve tried ( I have 4 of the F’s now ) and wouldn’t mind trying a few more !!
Remember the old bumper sticker “Gas, grass or ass nobody rides for free” ?
Maybe that should be “Glass, grass or graphite”www.dsaphoto.com

David…I am not sure that this rod is “a must have rod”…but I am intrigued with it nonthless. Several of the members on the Fiberglass Flyrodders forum have them and they are well thought of. And I have a soft spot for yellow fiberglass rods since my first was an Eagle Claw Featherlight…ha.
This thread has the links for purchasing these Japanese yellow Fenwick fly rods.

Whoops, just noticed the other thread !
Thanks for the links – I have a soft spot for glass rods, but there’s not much around here in Oz.
My first rod (in 1975 ish ) was an Eagleclaw as well, I think it was an eight, must have weighed that in pounds anyway.. ;D
