Today I celebrated my 70th birthday. Other than a bicycle accident with some serious injuries I have been fortunate to enjoy good health. So I decided to treat myself to a new rod to take on my trip this upcoming weekend. I’ve not owned a Scott rod before and checked them out at our local fly shop. I checked out both the Centric and the G Series. I went with a G Series 8’8” in a 5 weight. I could feel the rod load nicely and was able to obtain accuracy at long distances.
