I recorded James Prosek’s podcast last night, but it will not run for another two weeks, because Nick Lyons is coming up on Monday.
Moreover, should you ever break your rod, Scott will repair it for a $135 charge including shipping costs even though you are not the original owner.
I’d have to see it to know if it was factory built or not, but you are describing a factory design. Does the Scott logo look like the Scott logo above, but hand-written? If so, that’s factory; few custom makers would even attempt that script work. A factory 906 G in good condition is probably worth about $275-325 now; you got a steal.
Where are you seeing all these ridiculous auctions!?!

I am with Bob. You have almost certainly got a Scott G on your hands (G906 would be a standard “G” in 9-foot six weight). The “glassi-ness” you are seeing is most likely the unsanded gray blank. Does it have spiral wraps on it, like a snake belly? That’s a classic hallmark of the G series (including the current G2). Most old Gs were wrapped in ruby red with a composite cork cap on the front of the grip (also found on the G2).
That’s a very coveted rod.

Hey guys –
I am not criticizing your pictures at all, Doug, but do please let’s try not to overwhelm poor Phil.
Well, it’s a really hard toy to cast very far, but I bet it would also be hard to break despite its slenderness.
That is a pretty good idea, Rob. I have always favored keeping as much conversation as possible in one room. I hate boards with 90 different categories I have to scroll through. Thus, I always post when I put up a new podcast, and I would hope to have discussions like you suggest in those posts. Of course, the podcasts fade to the back of the board, so there’s something in what you say. I will consider it.
