To catch steelhead and salmon, you need to swim the fly at the right angle, the right depth, and the right speed. The right rod can provide the solution to that puzzle.

But these are the fish of a thousand casts, so preferences also play a big role. You can fish the same fish in the same water with a single hander, a short two hander, or the very longest rods. You can fish floating line, sinking line, dry flies, wet flies, traditional swing, riffle hitch, nymph and indicator. The variations are endless. So Scott made a series of rods to satisfy every preference.

The Scott Swing series feature progressive loading actions, fast recovery speed, directional stability, and a light in hand feel. The rods are made with multi-directional, multi-modulus layups, ARC2 reinforcement, Carbon Link resin system, and the very finest components.

The Swing series is a comprehensive line of fly rods that is sure to satisfy the needs of any steelhead or salmon angler.

Features of the Swing series:

• Progressive loading actions: The rods load progressively, which means that they load more easily at the tip and more progressively towards the butt. This makes them easier to cast and control, especially in windy conditions.
• Fast recovery speed: The rods have a fast recovery speed, which allows you to make more casts in a shorter amount of time.
• Directional stability: The rods are very directional stable, which means that they track straight when you cast them. This makes it easier to place your fly precisely where you want it.
• Light in hand feel: The rods are very light in hand, which makes them comfortable to cast for long periods of time.
• High-quality components: The rods are made with high-quality components, including titanium stripping guides with Silicon Nitride inserts, Snake Brand Universal snake guides, and a fully milled aluminum reel seat.

If you are looking for a high-performance fly rod for steelhead or salmon fishing, the Scott Swing series is a great option. The rods are well-made, feature excellent performance, and are available in a variety of lengths and weights to suit your needs.

According to Scott Rod Designer and President, Jim Bartschi, this was a particularly satisfying project. "The challenge of creating high-performance rods for both single and double-handed fishing applications to pursue the world’s most magnificent fish species was a long, and at times, arduous process but always compelling and fun. For this project, I had the opportunity to work with intensely dedicated salmon and steelhead anglers worldwide to dig into the smallest details. When you collectively get to the finish line on a project like this, there’s a lot of shared pride and excitement."

The Swing series of rods are hand-crafted, one at a time, in Montrose, Colorado.
