Scott 50th F Series Fly Rod 3wt – 7’0″ – 4pc

“This year, we proudly celebrate our 50th anniversary. Its 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 rodsmithsthat 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 were introducing some new surprises by finishing them with todays 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.”

Harry Wilson founded Scott Fly Rods in 1974. He built a name for himself and the brand by making some of the most coveted light line multipiece fiberglass fly rods. When the typical fly rod was a heavy clunky 8 foot 6 weight 2 piece, Scotts light line multipiece rods opened up new opportunities for anglers fishing cold clear streams with dry flies by providing light responsive and smooth rods for the task. Advanced tapers and the Scott hollow internal ferrule were central to accomplishing this feat. No model exemplifies this better than the F703/4.
