Scott Centric Freshwater Fly Rods

Fast, Fresh & Unfiltered

Introducing the new Scott Centric series of fly rods.

Scott put the feel in fast action rods. Now we’re taking it to the next level.

Cutting edge Centric series fly rods deliver new levels of stability, recovery speed, and range, while giving anglers tons of feedback through the easy flexing tip sections and highly transmissive blanks.

These are the most efficient rods Scott has ever created. High line speed, flat, stable loops are easily generated at any distance with minimal effort from the caster.

Apparent to anglers of any skill level, these rods feel very light in the hand, are insanely accurate, and are simply a joy to fish at any distance.

Ease of roll casts and mends is next level. The ability to control loop shape and line speed at any distance give anglers wide ranging versatility.

Centric rods combine new tapers and multi-modulus lay ups with a new resin system to increase fiber density and reduce weight, and they feature our new generation ARC reinforcement for greater stability along multiple axes. New custom rolling equipment allows us to control fiber placement and density with new levels of precision.

And just to top it all off, we designed new standard-setting componentry for Centric rods that redefine functionality, durability, and beauty.

Scott Centric rods are fit with Flor grade cork, new titanium stripping guides with super slick zirconia inserts, new low glare Snakebrand Universal snake guides, and a new fully milled reel seat featuring speed threads, easy grip knurling, self-indexing hoods, micarta inserts, a special Delrin lock washer, and type 3 flat black hard coat.

Centric rods are handcrafted in the USA from the finest materials.

Our new generation ARC is over 35% lighter and sets a new first in ultra-light multi-ply blank construction. The result is even more torsional stability with substantially lighter weight. This helps your rod track better for greater loop control and pin point accuracy.

Centric rods combine new precision construction techniques with
our innovative new resin system to bond carbon fibers in a very dense matrix. The result? An exponentially lighter, more efficient rod that reduces casting fatigue and effort, while improving accuracy and versatility performance.

Our new titanium stripping guides with super slick zirconia inserts not only reduce weight while maintaining excellent strength but also assist in shooting line and look super pimp while doing so.

These new, patented, American made guides from Snake Brand feature radius feet which conform to the blank, have the best corrosion resistance, and even have a self-lubricating finish to shoot line farther. Now with a low glare finish for added stealth.

The new PATH rod is a smooth-casting, medium-fast action graphite fly rod, offering classic performance for all levels of anglers. Rods through 6 weight have a half-wells handle with a wood reel seat for a classic look and feel, and 7 weights and above feature a full-wells grip with anodized aluminum reel seat that is ready for salt or fresh water conditions.

Catana spin rods have been built on graphite blanks, providing a sensitivity and lightness to enhance the fishing experience, and are finished in a deep blue colour. Each model has Sea Guide Zirconium ring guides bound in black and metallic blue to match the blank, metal winding checks surrounding the split EVA butt configurations, and Sea Guide reel seats. Their price tag may see them overlooked, but don't let this fool you; these are quality performance rods that will provide years of enjoyment for those who pick one up.

The new 2020 TD Hyper range takes value and performance to the next level courtesy of new Air Sensor (SVF Carbon) reel seats, a revised grip design, and a new grey cosmetic. Light, powerful, and designed for ultimate strength and performance this is the spinning and baitcast series that delivers unrivalled value.

At the very core of the TD Hyper is Daiwa's HVF Nanoplus technology. HVF Nanoplus combines precise resin control with unidirectional graphite fibre to produce a blank with maximum graphite density and a light responsive action. Blank performance is further enhanced courtesy of X45, by eliminating twist and preventing the blank from losing its round form, X45 allows a lighter a small diameter blank to be made, and lighter more dynamic rod to be created.

Lightweight Fuji Concept O guides help the blank to maintain its action, while Fuji Aluminium Oxide inserts provide superior casting performance and line management. Next generation comfort and control is delivered through new ergonomically designed grips and the integration of Air Sensor reel seats. This results in reduced weight while maximising balance, feel, and sensitivity.

Combining Daiwa advanced blank design with outstanding value the TD Hyper series is built to perform.

The reel seats are fully machined aluminium with titanium SIC stripper guides and corrosion resistant snake guides.

The RAW freshwater series of fly rods feature an ultra-high modulus prepreg of 65 and 57 MSI fibres held together with an extremely strong nano resin. This resin is so strong they were able to reduce the resin content to half of what would normally be used by competitors. This reduces weight and increases the amount you feel through the blank. The rods are fitted with customised machine cut skeletal reel seats with double locking rings and stabilised timber inserts. The stripping guide is a titanium framed SIC and the guides are custom light wire single foot guides. The rod actions are fast while still maintaining enough feel to drop a tiny dry at close range off the rod tip.
