Introducing the new Scott Centric fly rod

Scott Centric series
If anything is going to take the edge off what has been a pretty rubbish 2020 it's going to be the new Centric rod from Scott Fly Rods. The Scott Radian was an outstanding rod for the last seven years and had a huge fan base. We can be pretty sure the Centric will be the same.
Scott don't release a new rod every year just to keep sales ticking over, and when they do bring something new to the table it's going to make people stand up and notice, and the Centric does just that. Jim Bartschi spends a lot of time to get it right - and with this rod - he did.
Scott put the feel in fast action rods. Now they’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, there is new 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 Snake brand 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.

Sneaky Creek outfits - Airflo 3wt fibreglass

Fishing with fibreglass is fun and with these rods it is not big bucks.

These 3pc Airflo Ambush fibreglass fly rod are here to satisfy that bendy stick urge when you've had your fast action fix. After all, no good things happen quickly and slowing down is a super way to enjoy small streams. Fibreglass is tough and can take abuse that would have modern graphite broken into many pieces. Perfect for scrub bashing creeks, for bendy under the kayak antics and kids that just want to have fun.

These are serious rods though that will deliver the shortest cast with delicacy and medium casts with finesse. If you are a long cast hero - good luck, because these rods are not designed for that.

Come and cast glass. We have lines and reels to suit, but the combos are great value. Shipping is Express and free.
Quality alloy reel seat with exotic wood insert
Silicon carbide stripper guides
Titanium coated single foot guides
Comes complete with Cordura rod tube and cloth bags

#3 weight combo/outfit
The 6'6" #3 weight also comes as a combo with a Flylab reel, backing, #3 weight line and leader, plus cordura rod tube. This is the perfect sneaky creek rod and is perfect under the willows. Whether you are casting ten feet or thirty this is a great outfit. It is almost impossible to break and throws super bow and arrow casts into impossible places. It is super value at $195 for the rod or $295 for the combo which includes rod, reel, line, leader, cordura tube and delivery. The rod alone was originally $250.

All you have to do is add a fly.
