Scott Wave Fly Rods

Ride the Wave

We recently received a batch of the New Scott Wave all water fly rods in 8-12 wts. This new model for Scott Fly Rods is a completely new design targeted for the "price-point" high performance, powerful level of rods.

The Wave from Scott will replace the void where the Tidal series left off. When the fly fishing market surged during the pandemic, and "supply-chain issues" became a household term, Scott had made the decision to drop two rod series from the lineup, the Flex (freshwater) and the mentioned Tidal (salt). This discontinuation of the upper mid-price point series rods has left a gap that needed filled. We certainly understand though their desire to solely focus on keeping up with premium rod demand. The decision to do so led to overall pretty good stock and turnaround time when other companies struggled mightily, and continue to struggle.

This summer we were able to cast a few prototypes of the Scott Wave and were thoroughly impressed with how powerful of a stick it is. If you are familiar with our casting area, standing on the edge of the grass and making just one or two false cast, the Wave could almost effortlessly huck the entire fly line in the hands of the right caster. Honestly if someone has never cast a true premium fly rod, they would be hard pressed to justify the extra few hundred bucks. Side-by-side though against the reigning saltwater champion, Scott Sector, the Wave is still impressive, though not as light in the tip, or as finely balanced in hand as a Sector. The Wave also had a bit more swing weight. All that aside, it's a hell-of-a-fly-rod for $675.

If you are in the market for a mid-priced powerful fly rod capable of anything from large trout, bass, carp, or any saltwater destination in the world, be sure to give the Scott Wave a test cast with us. We will be stocking 8, 9, 10, and 12's on a regular basis and can easily order up the 6 or 7wt if you are looking for those sizes (only so many spots on the rod rack!)
