What Scott have to say about their NEW GT Series Fly Rods:
No other rods match the legacy and longevity of the Scott G Series-rods that are filled with firsts, fished the world over, and passed down through generations.
We’re proud to unveil the all-new iteration of this iconic rod series-the Scott GT. New GT rods are lighter and sportier than their predecessors yet still possess smoothprogressive actions, tremendous feedback, and incredible tippet protection that have kept dedicated anglers fishing the previous three generations ofthese rods for almost 50 years.
GT rods feature innovations that push them to the forefront of performance while retaining the most cherished attributes of G series rods. The first is centered around wall thickness and our X-Core design approach. GT rods are the first series to feature our newest version of X-Core design principles, producing the thinnest walled blanks we’ve ever created.
We’ve incorporated new multi-modulus lay ups combined with our ARC2 multi directional fibers to increase recovery and line speed, giving the rods greater stability and accuracy. We also redesigned the signature Scott hollow internal ferrule. The ferrules are now up to 20% lighter and flex in tandem with the blanks more than ever before. Bringing together new thinner wallswith new ferrules creates blanks with incredible transmission of feel. The most nuanced movement of a fish or detection of a strike can be felt. What isn’t felt are the ferrules connecting each section, making these 4-and 5-piece rods feel almost like they’re one piece.
We also created a new model lineup. These new length-line weight configurations are designed to showcase what we think are the best characteristics of G series rods. Most have never been offered in any iteration of the G series. But they wouldn’t deserve the G series badge if they were just about the latest tech. We also pushed ourselves to make these some of the most artful and soulful rods we’ve ever crafted.
GT rods feature milled aluminum reel seats with type 3 hard coat,beautiful cocobolo wood inserts, and Flor grade cork grips. They also feature titanium framed Zirconia no tangle stripping guides complimented withSnake Brand Universal snake guides.The little touches, like measuring wraps and alignment dots, are all there too. Each GT rod is handcrafted in our shop in Montrose, Colorado and is hand inscribed and given an individual serial number

Scott GT Series Model Descriptions
GT 743/4, 7’ 4” 3 wt 4 pc
With this rod’s deep flexing action, touch sensitive tip, and small size, it’s perfect for short casts with dries and dry-dropper rigs in tight quarters. More accurate with higher line speed than glass, this is a great choice for people who prefer lighter quicker rods or fish in windy conditions on small waters.
Recommended line weight 95-110 grains
GT 843/5, 8’ 4” 3 wt 5 pc
So smooth and balanced you won’t believe it’s a 5-piece rod. This little gem is perfect for hike in fishing on small streams and lakes where dries and dry-dropper rigs are the norm and packability is key.
Recommended line weight 95-110 grains
GT 844/5, 8’ 4” 4 wt 5 pc
A versatile effortless casting 4 weight for days when mixed techniques on small to medium sized streams and lakes call for nymphs, dries, or small streamers. This 5-piece is delicate enough to enjoy the tug of a small fish but has plenty of power to handle heavier flies and the big fish you didn’t expect to eat your hopper.
Recommended line weight 115-125 grains
GT 8103/4, 8’ 10” 3 wt 4 pc
When midges or tricos are hatching bring your 7X, the 8103, and your A-game. This is hands down the finest technical dry fly fishing 3 weight we’ve ever built. Incredibly smooth with a delicate but precise tip, this rod is laser accurate and alive with feel.
Recommended line weight 95-110 grains
GT 8104/4, 8’ 10” 4 wt 4 pc
A trusted friend who has fished Scott rods for over 40 years proclaimed, ‘this is the greatest 4 weight of my life’. We’d have to agree. There’s magic here. The rod perfectly balances a sensitive tip with smooth even power. Effortless to cast and control, incredibly precise, and a joy to fish.
Recommended line weight 120-130 grains
GT 8105/4, 8’ 10” 5 wt 4 pc
This rod will handle heavier nymph rigs and let you fish the afternoon midge hatch on 7X. Endless possibilities with this ‘one rod to rule them all’. Long roll casts, precise overhead casts with long leaders, reverse curve casts. It’s a do it all rod that does it all well.
Recommended line weight 140-150 grains
GT 8106/4, 8’ 10” 6 wt 4 pc
Drift boat fishing, a big Chubby with two weighted nymphs underneath, salmon flies, streamers. When you need to serve them a big meal, this is the rod. It swings light in hand but delivers plenty of power. It excels at loop size control, long roll casts, and controlling big fish.
Recommended line weight 160-175 grains
GT 984/4, 9’ 8” 4 wt 4 pc
Perfect for technical nymphing and tricky tailwaters. It swings like a 9 fl rod but the extra reach of this rod helps extend long drag free drifts with little flies for finicky fish. It turns over the longest leaders with precision and protects light tippets.
Recommended line weight 120-130 grains
GT 985/4, 9’ 8” 5 wt 4 pc
A great rod for big water nymphing, single hand spey casts, or stillwater fishing. This powerful 5 weight comes with a fighting butt and excels at long easy casts. It’s sensitive enough for tricky fishing like chironomid hatches and has the power to huck a streamer a country mile.
