Quietly taking over the quality trout waters the world over

CF Burkheimer trout rods have been quielty taking over the quality trout waters the world over. Find an angler that quietly goes about his business, casts a beautiful line with accuracy and precision and has a grin on his face that stretches ear to ear, more than likely you'll find a Burkie in his hand.

Need'n to throw a #12 Green Drake or #16-18 Elk Hair in the riffle? That's our 590-4. Out head hunting on the Henry's Fork Ranch section? Present your trout offerings confidently with our 489-4 DAL nicknamed "The Ranch Rod". Picky Bow's selectively feeding on Midges, Micro Caddis, PMD's in a Spring Creek or glass smooth back eddy? Look to the 389-4. There are a host of fishy challenges and situations out there, and we've got a rod for them all.

Our trout rods are light in the hand, and heavy in performance. If they don't cast 15-20 feet with good feel and turnover, then rifle out and honest 70'+ they're not a Burkheimer. We build rods that you'll love to fish with, because that's our passion and commitment to you and to the sport we are devoted to and love so much.

Our trout rods contain the most current State-of-the-Art technology. We refrain from using buzz-word marketing lingo to describe tapers or models. That's not the Burkheimer way. Instead, we prefer to focus on designing and crafting exceptional fly rods -- fly rods with that "Burkie feel" and performance.

Burkheimer trout rods are available in three distinct build styles; the only difference is hardware and cosmetics. Whether you choose a Vintage, Presentation, or Classic, they all feature the same solid Burkheimer design and action. It starts with the blanks we design and roll in house. We build from there.

Medium action euro nymph rods for all skill levels.

With the growing demand for specialized Euro Nymph rods, the demand for a rod that fits the needs of anglers that are not looking to compete at the national championships has also been growing.  We used our extremely popular Carbon XL rod as a tried-and-true foundation to make a rod that met and exceeded the expectations of these anglers. Competition-style Euro Nymph rods can be so specialized that they aren’t always the right tool for most recreational anglers. By using the Carbon XL’s already versatile design and extending the length to 10′, we produced a rod that is not only capable of anything a trout angler needs, but excels at it.  Perfect for any style of nymphing, dry flies, lake fishing, and more!  We took an already great rod, gave it a new tip section as well as a few other upgrades, and made one of our most versatile fishing tools to date.

Within the series are soem wonderful saltwater rods. Saltwater-grade rods in this price category are usually better utilized as a coat hanger than a fishing tool. The Ion XL series does not fit that mold.

The series features  a remarkably low swing-weight and a more forgiving action, the Ion XL is equally at home stripping flesh flies as it is dropping a merkin to a tailing permit.

 And now with a 10' #5 perfect for BC stillwater fishing.

A Rod for Lake Enthusiasts

A Rod for Lake Enthusiasts

Conventional fly rods are a poor substitute for a precisely developed lake rod. These new rods were designed to get anglers fishing more effectively and efficiently in lakes of all sizes.

Optimized for Casting While Sitting

Lake fishermen are typically fishing from float tubes, small pontoons, or boats. This creates challenges when making long casts. The unique action and power blend matched to the 10' length helps avoid hitting the water behind you on the back cast and the dreaded tailing loop.

The Lago series rods also live a double life as excellent summer steelhead or large trout nymphing rods.

Years of fly fishing enjoyment
Few rods out there offer the bang-for-buck value of the ECHO LIFT.  And we specifically designed it to continue to impress you whether you’re still learning or many years in to your fly fishing career.

The link between single-hand and two-hand casting

The ultimate in versatility. The missing link between one hand rods and spey rods. Combined with a short Skagit Head, these rods allow you to add a double hand haul to your spey cast. High modulus graphite makes the rod more efficient while casting and is light in the hand. The rod comes with a traditional fighting butt and a 2 1/2" spey rear grip in case you want to give your casting hand a rest. Longer lengths provide additional leverage when fish are hiding in the next zip code.

A Euro Nymph rod for critical line feel & control

A Euro Nymph rod for critical line feel & control

Euro Nymphing requires precision and sensitivity to hit the target and feel not only fish biting, but also current seams, the bottom, and anything else that will dictate where to present your fly.

Light, Fast and Versatile

Strike detection is the make-or-break metric for any Euro Nymphing rod. The Shadow II's light weight and fast action tip allow you to feel the subtleties of not just strikes, but bottom contour, current speeds, and other critical variances that can effect your success.

For casual anglers and competition anglers alike

The Shadow II lives in that "Goldilocks zone" between our other Euro nymphing rods. Blending enough sensitivity and overall performance with affordability to make it one of the most popular rods in our entire lineup.

For Elite Competition-Level Anglers

For Elite Competition-Level Anglers

We worked with veteran Euro Nymph guru Pete Erickson, 2018 fly fishing world champion Norm Maktima, and expert Mariusz Wrobewski to create a rod that is dialed-in to perform at the sport's highest levels.

20% Lighter than the Shadow II Series

By using the most advanced high modulus graphite available to us, we were able to achieve the lightest rod we have ever produced. When you need to feel every nuance happening under the water, having the lightest, most sensitive rod you possibly can is the difference between 1st and 10th place.

Our Most Advanced Rods to Date

Simply put: This is the most challenging project we have ever completed in our life as a rod company. Neither us nor our experts in the field would be satisfied without a rod that balanced a level of sensitivity not before thought possible while keeping its abililty to achieve effective hook sets.

Competition-level lake rods for the serious stillwater angler.

Conventional fly rods are a poor substitute for a precisely developed stillwater rod. These new rods were designed to get anglers fishing more effectively and efficiently in lakes of all sizes. We worked with expert Pete Erickson to fine-tune this unique rod series with its medium fast action and subtle delicacy to cover all aspects of high-level stillwater fishing. There are four sizes including a 10ft 5wt, 10ft 6wt, 10ft 7wt, and even a 10.6ft 6wt.

Striking the ultimate balance of handsome components, positive feel, and unflinching durability, IMX-PRO is a game-changing addition to the serious angler's quiver.

Downright deadly, modern euro nymphing is a beyond-proven tactic for boosting catch count

Lift. Lob. Repeat. Downright deadly, modern euro nymphing is a beyond-proven tactic for boosting catch count. For many anglers – especially those in high-traffic fisheries with pressured fish – it’s one of the best ways to achieve maximum effectiveness efficiently. True disciples of this method require specialized tools with innovative actions and components configured to satisfy a set of unique tactical demands.

With a moderate flex pattern and generous power through the bottom half of the blank, IMX-PROe is designed to load easily for improved casting accuracy without sacrificing the “oomph” behind the hookset. Conduit Core Technology and our GL7 Resin System combine to reduce overall weight, resulting in a lightweight, scary sensitive blank. A custom half wells “Euro Grip,” matte-finished reel seat with counter-weighted fighting butt, precise guide spacing to eliminate line sag, and pointer finger “sensitivity zone” on the blank above the grip round out the feature set for this purpose-driven euro nymphing powerhouse.

Rolled for pumped performance in salty environments

At G. Loomis, we build tools that enhance natural ability, boost effectiveness, and expand tactical opportunity. We do this for the dawn patrollers. The mid-day grinders. The last-light renegades. For those that make time on the water a top priority. Introducing IMX-PRO V2S, a continuation of our 40-year commitment to provide anglers with actions that put the bug where your brain wants it every time.

Rolled for pumped performance in salty environments, IMX-PRO V2S actions are tuned for utility in three specific areas: improved tracking in the wind, lifting generous lengths of line before a re-cast, and fish fighting control. G. Loomis engineers designed these versatile actions with gobs of power through the bottom half of the rod but, most uniquely, developed a slightly tighter tip to minimize tailing loops and improve tracking and line pick-up. A proprietary blend of technologies - Conduit Core and GL7 resin system - provides surplus strength and impact resistance without the extra weight, creating a blank that allows anglers to stay frosty when a "send" becomes a "bend".

That said, don't take it from us. Experience this diverse set of purpose-driven actions for yourself. Because, after all, actions speak louder than words.

Power, Line Speed and Loop Stability without compromising Feel

Edgy environmental factors like sustained wind, complex hydraulics, and natural structure all pack the potential to punish productivity. With favor stacked in nature’s corner, level the playing field with fishing tools forged to conquer these, and other common variables. With a primary focus of maximizing versatility, these adaptable actions improve angler capability and expand tactical opportunity in difficult fishing situations. Rolled with our most advanced compound taper construction to date, NRX+ provides the power, line speed, and loop stability expected from modern fast-action rods without compromising “feel” and finesse in the short game. This means, regardless of casting distance or difficulty, NRX+ empowers anglers with confidence-boosting control in less-than-ideal situations.

Light Presentation

Dedicated dry fly anglers know the deal. Your job? Flawless presentation. The trout’s job? Avoiding introduction. Picky and particular, feeding trout aren’t often available to receive offerings sent in a straight-line path. Perfect, delicate drifts require slinging unconventional slack yielding casts, and drag inducing micro-currents, obstacles, and other naturally occurring variables can limit tactical opportunity. When success rests on a razor’s edge, take control with balanced fishing tools built to boost effectiveness in ultra-technical scenarios. NRX+ LP is the ultimate tool for accurate and effective dry fly presentation. Tailored for supreme versatility over a wide range of casting techniques, actions are sweet, smooth, and stable, with plenty of “spank” when conditions call for an additional pinch of power.

Saltwater

Despite best-laid plans, conditions in saltwater environments can slide sideways in a split second. Walloping wind and cloud cover pack the potential to hinder the performance of even the most experienced tropical fly angler. When favor’s stacked in nature’s corner, level the playing field with fishing tools forged to conquer these, and other common variables. With a primary focus of maximizing versatility, these adaptable actions improve angler capability and expand tactical opportunity in difficult fishing situations. Rolled with our most advanced compound taper construction to date, NRX+ S provides the power, line speed, and loop stability expected from modern fast-action rods, without compromising “feel” and finesse for short shots when clouds turn the light down.

These light weight rods have been refined by countless hours of on-water development to enure that each model is perfectly tailored to meet your expectations. Fitted with top quality hardware and a purposefully designed reel seat, the Aydon is also supplied in a convenient travel tube and high-quality rod bag.

Award Winning Ultralite Series

The award winning Ultralite range of fly rods features SINTRIX NSX construction. This proprietary material is based on our industry changing original SINTRIX technology that has been combined with a second classified material allowing us to build an even lighter and stronger fly rod.

This lighter weight material provides targeted modification of the blank design while further strengthening the blank strength. The net result is a lighter and more responsive rod that allows the angler to "feel" the line load during the casting stroke, giving a greater degree of control than ever before.

The reel seat on the Ultralite is a masterpiece of form and function-moving more of the rod's weigth behind the hand giving unsurpassed in-hand balance. The single start threading resist the reel loosening under heavy use and has a keyed body to further ensure a snug and aligned fit for your reel.

LL - Light Line and European Nymphing Style Rods

Never before have light line and river specific anglers had so many advanced techniques to choose from. The surge in popularity around advanced European style and competition style techniques has to some degree left rod design behind - not anymore. These technique specific rods have been designed, developed, and tested by some of the leading experts of modern light line methods to represent the most refined and usable actions on the market for these demanding styles of fishing.

SR - Small River

We are pleased to announce the addition of these small river rods to the award winning Ultralite range of Hardy rods. The Hardy Sintrix NSX material is the perfect mix for a crisp rod that protects light tippets and gives you a forgiving, easy loading action for the accuracy and control you need in a small river or stream. The new range includes 6-piece packing rods for some great distancing off the trail.

COLOR: Green Pearl
GUIDE TYPE: Titanium Stripper/Recoil Snake
ROD ACTION: Medium Fast
ROD HANDLE MATERIAL: AAAA Cork
ROD HANDLE TYPE: PSG

Significantly Faster than the standard Ultralite Series

There are adverse conditions that place a different set of demands on our equipment - extreme weather, extreme distance, or even extreme flies. The Ultralite X is the answer to those demands and is significantly faster than our standard Ultralite. The high recovery rates drive tight loops with even the largest flies. The more powerful butt section is built for lifting deep sunk lines, pressuring large fish away from snags, and handling density compensated fly lines with aggressive tapers.

Based on the blank design of the award-winning Proaxis series of Rods

Based on the blank design of the award-winning Proaxis series of Rods, the all-new Zane series brings performance, durability, and refinement in a range of lengths and line sizes to suit all saltwater and predator anglers, including two all new 8ft 8# and 9# weights ideal for back country Snook, predator fishing, or even streamer-eating trout in smaller rivers.

High Performance Saltwater Fly Rod

The Zane Pro rod continues Hardy's premier position with high performance salt water fly rods. Using the finest high modulus carbon fibers and the best Sintrix 440 resin system, the rod diameters have been reduced for less resistance in the wind and for greater accuracy. The guides are the latest generation of ceramic lined recoil titanium stripper guides and snakes. The bar stock aluminum reel seat has been hardened to the highest-grade anodization to ensure it is scratch resistant. The Zane Pro is proving itself to be the most durable, precise, and successful rod with wins for Tarpon and Permit anglers in this year's game fish tournaments in the Keys.

Our groundbreaking 7X series of rods haven’t just changed the fly fishing game – they’ve reinvented what is possible.

After many years of constantly challenging ourselves as a company to extend the boundaries of modern fly rod design, we take great pride in creating what we truly believe to be highest performance fly rod range we have ever made – the LOOP 7X

Our 7X rod series introduces the innovative design and performance advantages of an exclusive and pioneering heptagonal (7-sided) blank construction process. This patented technology optimises power transfer and enhances rod tracking for both accuracy and maximum energy efficiency.

The 7X’s superior casting performance is due to the geometric advantages inherent within its shape, resulting in accelerated and rapid dampening of the rod during the energy transitions of a casting cycle.

The 7X design, with its 2-3-2 structural support, eliminates “spine effect” and broadens the versatility beyond the conventional overhand cast and underhand casting techniques. The rod also provides equal precision and power in a multitude of casting actions, including the sidearm or backhand casting, which are often required in many demanding sport fisheries.

Finally, the 7X is both lighter and stronger than all circular fly rod constructions, and the ultra efficient energy transmission results in the enhancement of:

•   Accuracy
•     Presentation
•     Performance
•     Versatility

This truly is the most technologically advanced, high performance fly rod in the world.

Pinpoint Accuracy. Maximum Distance.

After two years of exhaustive development, we are proud to launch our stunning new Cross SX Fast Action fly rods. Our SX range provides the discerning fly fisher with outstanding performance by utilising the very latest combination of proprietary nano-resin and high tensile carbon called Cross Core Technology.

TECHNICAL CONDITIONS / ULTRA-FAST ACTION

When the wind picks up and casting situations get technical, the IGNITER is the rod to reach for. Whether you’re on your favorite spring creek presenting tiny tricos to tricky trout with the 490-4, or punching streamers into a headwind probing for a lake dwelling lunker with the 7100-4, the powerful blank of the IGNITER will make sure your fly is delivered to the intended target appropriately.

The most demanding conditions require a different kind of tool. Strong head wind? Fish at distance? Bulky rigs? Heavy sink-tips? The IGNITER is tuned to handle the most technical of conditions. Not a rod for the everyday angler, the IGNITER is equipped with a high line speed taper to carry large amounts of line at distance with wind cutting performance. Perfect for streamer fishing with heavy sink tips or covering big water when conditions turn south. If you bring the will, the IGNITER will supply the way.

SALTWATER SPECIFIC / FAST ACTION

A rock-solid go-to saltwater rod. Built with a powerful blank for quick shots and pulling on hard fighting ocean-dwelling gamefish, the MAVERICK gets it done. From highly finicky Bonefish in glassy conditions with the 690-4, Striped Bass on the beaches with the 990-4, strings of migratory Tarpon with the 1190-4, or even blue-water Tuna with the 1486-4, the MAVERICK series carries the right rod for any salty pursuit.

Saltwater angling is more often a game of quick shots than long casts. Dropping a fly in front of a cruising tarpon 20ft off the bow can be the difference between success and failure during a day on the flats. In fact, most saltwater fisheries put a premium on getting the fly to the target quickly. Redfish meandering about Louisiana marshes, bonefish cruising marl-covered flats, and stripers slashing at bait all require a quick cast into “the zone” for high odds at a hookup. The quicker you can lay the fly down, the better the results. Sage’s new MAVERICK has been designed to maximize these quick-shot opportunities with a powerful tip section that drives the casting load down to more robust lower sections, making it easier to fire these quick efficient casts and helping the angler make the most of their finite opportunities. With a true saltwater specific backbone and design, the MAVERICK is ready for any salty challenge thrown its way.

MULTI-APPLICATION / FAST ACTION

R8 Core is a rod family focused on maximum versatility and applies new revolutionary material technology through our forward thinking lens of what we’re seeing out on the water where one rod needs to show even greater range. At its Core, R8 CORE traces a direct lineage to Sage’s multi application vision, one shaped by the fishing evolutions happening all around us—from habitats we stalk and waters we frequent, to the flies we fish and the diversity of species we now target. Coming in a range from 3wt to 9wt, with a variety of lengths from 8’6” to 10’0”, there’s sure to be a model to fit the core needs of every freshwater angler.

In the world of saltwater fishing there is a lot of water out there and with that, a lot of fish species. From calm flats to open seas, the opportunities range dramatically. To put your best foot forward in high stakes fishing, you need a tool built for the exacting conditions of every unique fishery. The SALT HD lineup of rods are constructed differently - each with purpose. The fast-moving inhabitants of the salt require anglers to make quick shots and even quicker second shots. With the introduction of KonneticHD Technology, the SALT HD puts situational tools in hand to increase your odds of success. Allowing you to reach further, quicker, more delicately, and providing you with the power to make your angling dreams, lasting memories.

Saltwater Specific / Fast Action

MORE FIGHT, MORE TOUCH

Most salt rods are built for pure power and ultimate strength - that is table stakes for the venue and the discipline. With our new R8 graphite, adding 25% more strength-per-weight was the easy part - a simple function of material advancement - but one that also increased the fight in the rod even down to our six-weight. We increased the pure pulling power without the need to add more material, fillers or reinforcement. The outcome is simple, providing the ability for faster landing times and reducing fish stress and catch-and-release pressure on ever so delicate ecosystems.

More strength and fight were an obvious upgrade, yet few salt rods, especially in the heavier weights, achieve the importance of feel for fine touch shots and precise presentations. Shaping a taper that brought this increased touch into the equation took more time. Yet after a long residence in the birthplace of saltwater fly fishing, and working directly with the experienced guides there, our rod designers found the right profile and fiber alignment that delivered strength, fine touch presentations, and a more intuitive sweet spot to a class of rods that have long had a reputation as unwieldy, unforgiving and difficult. With the SALT R8, gone are the days of sacrificing the feel and touch in your saltwater rod.

EUROPEAN NYMPHING / MEDIUM ACTION

Ranging in models from the traditional 3100-4, the versatile 3106-4, to the big rig 4100-4, the SENSE offers specialized treatment for dialed execution. Single foot guides allow for a lighter more sensitive package, while optimally positioned stripper guide keeps line tighter to the hand and blank, preventing unnecessary snagging and increased control. Performance personified for the technical game of tight line fly fishing.

The SENSE is designed specifically for the European Style Nymphing angler, with a rod that combines Euro Nymphing specific action, optimized components, and stealthy cosmetics to make the perfect tool for those looking to get the most out of their tight line techniques. Equipped with Generation 5 Technology blank, the action of the SENSE starts with a soft tip for increased effectiveness in working precise nymph rigs and protecting fine tippets, giving greater control of these lighter fishing elements than standard fast action / multi-application rods. Once engaged, the tip absorbs shock and prevents “bounce” that might otherwise break off such fine tippets. Moving down the blank, the soft tip gives way to a stout butt section allowing anglers to fight and control fish with quick hooksets and minimal recoil, keeping the line tight throughout the entire fight, with plenty of backbone to muscle the mightiest of trout to the net.

Delightfully crisp and lightweight, from dry fly, streamers, to nymphing

Whether laying down dry flies with finesse or delivering streamers to distant reaches, the SONIC family of rods provides uncompromised versatility, with a balance of power and feel. Delightfully crisp and lightweight, the SONIC has a level of performance that stands out from the crowd with a fast action taper designed to cover a wide range of fishing applications from dry fly, streamers, to nymphing - floating lines to sinking. Built on Konnetic Technology blanks, casts with the SONIC are as intuitive as they are natural - responsive in hand with excellent tracking qualities. Ready for any application the day has in store. Dressed in a Juniper shaft color with Hardwood insert (anodized aluminum matte slate on fighting-butt models), and charcoal thread wraps that blend into the blank accents, the SONIC sports a timeless and elegant look that fits into most any fly fishing environment. Handcrafted in the USA and packaged in a premium rod bag and tube, we’ve pulled out all the stops to create a family of rods ideal for any application - any angler. Cast With Confidence.

Fresh, Fast, and Unfiltered - Fast-Action Freshwater

Introducing the new Centric series 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.

High Performance, Pure Fun

Our earliest rods grew from fiberglass roots. In fact, when Scott Fly Rods started in the early 70’s, graphite fly rods didn’t even exist.

We put our name on the map in those early years creating high performance, multi piece glass fly rods for anglers venturing into the mountains to catch wild trout in cool crystalline waters. Anglers were blown away by the smooth performance of our industry-first 5 piece fly rod, and by our full range of multi piece light line glass rods.

We’ve been making fiberglass fly rods ever since. There’s a good reason we continue to design and handcraft glass fly rods-it’s because we think glass is the best material available for casting at very close range, for enjoying the feel of small fish, and having a good old time.

With the all new F Series, we brought together new slimmer tapers with E-glass and our redesigned hollow internal ferrule to set a new standard for smooth, deep flexing rods. And, even though you can cast them a lot farther, these rods are optimized to cast beautiful accurate loops under 20 feet.

By carefully controlling the distribution of mass and stiffness, we created very light fiberglass rods that are stable and form sweet loops with just a few feet of line out of the tip. That way you can accurately cast into the next plunge pool or along overgrown banks even on creeks you can step across. That’s not something your graphite rods can do easily.

We paired that performance with best in class components like Snake Brand Universal snake guides, Flor grade cork grips, titanium SiC strippers, and CNC milled reel seats, and then added our little touches like measuring wraps and alignment dots. We didn’t miss a detail. After all, there’s a lot of history and pride in F Series rods.

So, if you’re in to fishing small pristine waters, and jewel like wild fish, treat yourself to the ultimate fishing tools-F Series rods from Scott-High performance, handcrafted, and pure fun.

The Scott Flex is a mid-priced rod with good action, power, lightness, feel, accuracy, and casting range.

Introducing the all new Scott Flex series, rods so light, effortless, and forgiving, they let you focus on fishing better.

Flex rods generate line speed and tight loops effortlessly, helping you cast accurately and control your presentations. And, their powerful butt sections help with quick, positive hook sets and fish control.

Incorporating many of the innovations found in our award winning Radian and Meridian rods, Flex rods combine high performance with top quality components. And, each Flex rod is handcrafted, start to finish, in our shop in Montrose, Colorado.

Fish better….fish the rod that works hard for you.

Not Just A Reintroduction - A Reinvention

Scott G Series are iconic fly rods. They’re medium action, smooth flexing fly rods treasured by anglers the world over.

Scott introduced the first G rods in 1976, and changed fly fishing by creating the first 9’ 4 weight fly rod. We also introduced the world to the hollow internal ferrule-the most sophisticated way to connect multi-piece fly rods in a smooth and seamless fashion.

In 2006, we introduced the G2 series and modernized medium-action fly rods by making them lighter in hand and increasing their recovery speed.

Now, we bring you the all new G Series. These rods advance medium action fly rods with two innovations. We’ve reinvented the hollow internal ferrule to make it more flexible, stronger, and more than 20% lighter. We’ve also combined our cutting edge fiber and resin systems in the most advanced multi-modulus layups we’ve ever created. New multi-slope tapers were designed to take full advantage of the new materials layups.

The results are rods that help solve one of the toughest challenges in medium action fly rod design-how to create a rod that both bends deeply and remains stable. New G Series rods balance lighter in hand, have much more stability through the middle of the rod for better tracking, and generate higher line speeds. They do all this while retaining the classic flex of your favorite medium action rods.

We’re bringing together presentation and power, so now you can pull hard on 7X tippet AND fish in the wind. The all new G Series. Like no other.

Split Cane Bamboo

Continuing our long tradition of partnering with the world’s top split cane rod makers, Scott is pleased to introduce the new three piece SC rods designed and built in collaboration with Naoki Hashimoto of Hokkaido, Japan.

Scott SC bamboo rods seamlessly integrate the traditions of craftsmanship with the performance innovations of contemporary split cane technology to bring you fly rods that stand the test of time as works of art, and as serious fishing tools.

SC rods feature beautifully figured amboyna burl wood and blued nickel silver reel seats, Snakebrand guides, stripping guides with agate inserts, handmade ferrule plugs, and grips shaped from the finest cork. Each rod comes with a pair of matched tip sections

Make the Hard Way a Little Easier

Choosing a fly rod to fish the world’s saltwater species clearly isn’t the easy way. It’s the Hard Way. But, for those of us who pursue this challenge, the rewards come from our methods as much as our results.

We designed the Tidal saltwater fly rods to make the challenges a little less, well... challenging. Accurate presentations to cruising fish and good turnover into the wind are now easier than ever. These salt specific rods load quickly, generate high line speed with a relaxed casting stroke, and have ample power to control hard fighting fish.

Like all Scott fly rods, they’re handcrafted start to finish in our Colorado workshop by skilled rod builders using the best materials available. Tidal rods come in models to cover any species or situation you’ll encounter on the flats or open waters.

Take the Tidal series fly rods on your next saltwater adventure. They’ll make the Hard Way a bit easier… and might even make your guide smile, too.

Bluewater Rod

Like New Condition

Remarkably light and responsive for effortless casts.

T&T’s proprietary StratoTherm Resin has such incredible strength and vibration dampening characteristics that it forced us to approach freshwater fly rod design in a new way. The result is the remarkably light and responsive Avantt Series. With ultra-low swing weight and lightning-fast recovery, these rods come alive in the hand.
At close range, the Avantt rods provide precise command of the fly with a delicate touch. Longer casts reveal surprising power and line speed with tight loops and excellent line control.

Technical Nymphing Rods

Contact II blank construction utilizes five different types of premium quality carbon and fiberglass fibers, bound together by our proprietary aerospace resin system. Aligning these fibers at strategic angles as we roll Contact II blanks improves accuracy, sensitivity, and strength. Components have been carefully selected to maximize performance and comfort. Improved guide spacing moves a “Low Rider” style stripping guide to the butt section of each Contact II, which decreases line sag from the angler’s hand to the first guide.

Our fast action, flagship saltwater series.

Developed to meet the challenges of the most demanding species and destinations, T&T’s Exocett Series of high-performance saltwater fly rods are infused with the exceptional strength and dampening characteristics of our proprietary StratoTherm Resin.

These light-weight rods are defined by a powerful, fast-dampening action that lifts line off the water with ease, and a thin-diameter top section that slices through the wind for quick and accurate casts. Once hooked-up, Exocett rods support anglers with immense strength and reserve power to battle and land the baddest fish on the planet, from giant trevally to tarpon.

THE ULTIMATE PRESENTATION ROD.

THE ULTIMATE PRESENTATION ROD.
Ask a group of experienced anglers to name the greatest dry fly rod of all time, and the T&T Paradigm is sure to be mentioned more than once. Over twenty years later, we’ve followed the same inspiration that made the original into a legend to create a new Paradigm for the 21st century.

While the advance of technology has pushed the limits of rod weight, line speed and casting distance, the essence of stalking a rising trout and presenting the fly remains unchanged. With this in mind, we set out to capture the unique feel that made the original Paradigm fly rods such a magical instrument.

SEXTANT SALTWATER FLAGSHIP SERIES

As technology and performance continue to push the limit of possibilities, the end goal for a fly rod remains the same. We seek to cast a fly line with ease and accuracy – to deliver our best artificial imitation at the right time and in the right place to convince the fish to eat. In saltwater fly fishing, fly presentation and placement are often as critical as when casting tiny imitations to fussy selective trout. But there is also a need for power; both to face into the wind so commonly encountered and to turn the heads of the largest fish.

These combined challenges of accuracy, delicacy and power are met with the new Sextant saltwater series from T&T.  The Sextant rod family was born from extensive R&D, representing an evolution in composition and construction from any fly rod previously available.  

Sextant rods are constructed with a unique reinforcement strategy that enhances strength and recovery properties of high-performance unidirectional fibers. This improves the coefficient of energy of the completed rod sections, resulting in rods that load quickly and generate wind-cutting line speed and casting distance with less effort.

The entire Sextant rod family shares a smooth loading, quick recovery action that allows for precise accuracy at short distances without sacrificing the power and backbone necessary for punching flies at longer distances through the wind.

The Zone series pushes the envelope in both performance and price

The Zone series pushes the envelope in both performance and price, bringing the latest R&D from Thomas & Thomas to more fly anglers than ever before. Sharing the advanced StratoTherm resin developed for the acclaimed Avantt and Exocett series, Zone rods are rolled and built by hand alongside those flagship models right here in our Massachusetts, USA facility.

Zone rods bring the legendary T&T feel and performance to a versatile lineup of 11 new models ranging from 3wt to 10wt.

Cobalt rods are built on a hyper-fast blank crafted to deliver blistering line speed and wind conquering loops

Gun Control. No, not that kind. But "hand cannon" might be a term that comes to mind when you're on the flats with a Cobalt rod. Think of your fly as a projectile, your line a powder charge, that Permit sliding by at 70 feet as a silhouette. Aim and fire.

Cobalt rods are built on a hyper-fast blank crafted to deliver blistering line speed and wind conquering loops, with enough flex in the tip and mid-section to allow you feel the action lead but plenty of muscle down deep to pick up that 70 feet of line for a quick re-cast.

Based on our popular SS-Salt blanks with dialed hardware and proprietary Lockdown reel seat, Cobalt is our next evolution in saltwater performance. Available in a full range of calibers.

Purpose built for technical fly fishing; for accuracy and finesse, for long leaders and small flies.

Trouble at Home? Silver Creek is an intoxicating problem. Languid currents and clear water lay bare your plans. The fish have advanced degrees in entomology, with ample time to study the menu.

And this is our home turf.

If Silver Creek is the problem, Purist is the solution: Purpose-built for technical fly fishing; for accuracy and finesse, for long leaders and small flies. From its 2 piece construction to the light and spare hardware specification, everything about purist is focused on reducing upper section weight to enhance energy delivery, recovery, feedback, and feel. When it comes to action, it's all about the balance of power. The Purist blank is very progressive, with a supple tip that loads easily and short, a mid-section that maintains tracking and stability, and a solid butt section that stores and releases energy with perfect control. 

Purist was designed and tested, revised and fine-tuned and tested, and tested and tested (and tested) on some of the most exacting water on the planet. The others will seem easy. 

The freshwater version of our Cobalt action.

Cheating. We'll come clean from the outset: Velocity is the freshwater version of our Cobalt action. We did this for an obvious reason: Our high-energy saltwater rods are certifiable handguns. Point and shoot, fast and furious, lifting power and laser loops. Big flies on open water, blowing like hell? Yep. Send one out to a seam in the middle of a wide freestone and throw in a reach? Nailed it. Lift a meaty streamer with a Belgian backcast and hit the other side of the river? Done. 10 inch brookies in a beaver pond on 6x? Uh... not quite. But if speed is what you need... Lighter hardware, forgotten fighting butts, foofy finishes for us trout guys, things like that. End of story.

All-around freshwater fly rods with boron.

The next generation of all-around freshwater fly rods (3wt-6wt). These rods can do anything – present tiny dry flies to wary trout on flat water, cast a heavy streamer to the far bank in the wind, launch the entire line when you need it, and make quick, accurate close-range shots. From high stick nymphing, pounding the banks from the boat, or wet wading, the new AIR 2 is a pack rod, a travel rod, a beautiful rod, and an all-around rod. It’s the new Winston. You won’t want to leave home without it. Now is the time.

PURE FEEL. PURE PRESENTATION. FOR THOSE WHO PREFER TO FISH WITH A LIGHT TOUCH.

Perhaps the greatest dry fly rods we have ever made.

When you daydream of delicate presentation trout fishing, where does your mind wander off to? Some might imagine casting yellow humpies, stimulators, and Royal Wulffs on their favorite freestones.

Some might imagine undercut banks, beaver ponds, and giggling riffles on a secret cutthroat “crick.” Some might imagine a large pod of picky spring creek rainbows dimpling PMDs on a slow-moving current’s surface.

If these are your daydreams, we encourage you to explore our all-new PURE series of trout rods.

A great fly rod is always a great fly rod.

Tom Morgan was the owner and rod designer at Winston from 1973 to 1991 and his legacy at Winston and for the entire fly rod industry cannot be overstated. We continue to believe in Tom's principle that "a great fly rod is always a great fly rod", so as we celebrate Winston's 90th Anniversary, we find it only fitting to reintroduce the Tom Morgan Favorite.

First offered in 1989 as a limited edition 60th Anniversary model, the Tom Morgan Favorite Rod has proved to be so popular it has remained a Winston customer favorite for the last 30 years.

Tom grew up fishing the spring creeks of Montana for wary brown trout where the slightest mistake spooks the fish. He designed the "Tom Morgan Favorite" as a specialized 2-piece, extra light, 8' 4-weight, made from moderate modulus graphite for those close to mid-range distances where delicacy, finesse, and accuracy are essential.
