From Scott Rods:
MONTROSE, Colo. (Nov. 14, 2025) — The Scott Fly Rod Company is pleased to announce the introduction of the new GT series of fly rods.
No other rods match the legacy and longevity of the Scott G Series—rods that are filled with firsts, fished the world over, and passed down through generations. Now, the Scott Fly Rod Company is proud to unveil the all-new iteration of this iconic rod series, the Scott GT.
New GT rods are lighter and sportier than their predecessors, yet they still possess smooth progressive actions, tremendous feedback, and incredible tippet protection that have kept dedicated anglers fishing the previous three versions of these rods for almost 50 years. GT rods feature innovations that push them to the forefront of performance while retaining the most cherished attributes of G Series rods.
The first is centered around wall thickness and Scott’s X-Core design approach. GT rods are the first series to feature the newest version of X-Core design principles, producing the thinnest walled blanks Scott has ever created. These rods incorporate new multi-modulus layups combined with Scott’s ARC2 multidirectional fibers to increase recovery and line speed, giving the rods greater stability and accuracy.
GT rods also feature a redesigned signature Scott hollow internal ferrule. Now up to 20% lighter, the ferrules flex in tandem with the blanks more than ever before.
Bringing together new thinner walls with new ferrules creates blanks with incredible transmission of feel. The most nuanced movement of a fish or detection of a strike can be felt. What isn’t felt are the ferrules connecting each section, making these four- and five-piece rods feel almost like they’re one piece.
Scott has also created a new model lineup. These new length-line weight configurations are designed to showcase the best characteristics of G Series rods. Most have never been offered in any iteration of the G Series.
But these rods wouldn’t deserve the G Series badge if they were just about the latest tech. The Scott Fly Rod Company has pushed themselves to make these some of the most artful and soulful rods they’ve ever crafted. GT rods feature milled aluminum reel seats with type 3 hard coat and beautiful cocobolo wood inserts. They also feature titanium framed zirconia no-tangle stripping guides complemented with Snake Brand Universal Guides. The little touches, like measuring wraps and alignment dots, are all there, too.
Handcrafted in Montrose, Colorado, each GT rod is hand inscribed and given an individual serial number.
Available from 7′ 4″ to 9′ 8″, in four- and five-piece configurations for 3-weight to 6-weight lines, MSRP $1,095.
