Scott GT Series No other rods match the legacy and longevity of the Scott G Series-rods. New GT rods are lighter and sportier than their predecessors yet still possess smooth progressive actions, tremendous feedback, and incredible tippet protection that have kept dedicated anglers fishing the previous three generations of these 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 Scott's X-Core design approach. GT rods are the first series to feature thei newest version of X-Core design principles, producing the thinnest walled blanks they have ever created. They’ve incorporated new multi-modulus lay ups combined with their ARC2 multi directional fibers to increase recovery and line speed, giving the rods greater stability and accuracy. The ferrules are now up to 20% lighter and flex in tandem with the blanks more than ever before. Bringing together new thinner walls with 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. 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. The folks at Scott also pushed themselves to make these some of the most artful and soulful rods 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 with Snake Brand Universal snake guides. The little touches, like measuring wraps and alignment dots, are all there too. Each GT rod is handcrafted in Scott's shop in Montrose, Colorado and is hand inscribed and given an individual serial number.
