It would be easy to tell you there’s a magic material that makes our fly rods great. It’s a simple story loved by sales and marketing teams. But it’s not accurate. Great fly rods are forged from commitment, experience, and passion. It takes commitment to source the right materials and components even if they are a lot more expensive, and it takes commitment to craftsmanship and top quality even if they take much more time.
Mandrel design, combining the right fibers with the right resins in the right proportions, component choices, and design nuances all contribute. Our rods are handcrafted by people who love to fish as much as you do, and they’re put together with the know how that comes from almost forty years of design and rod building experience.
It’s all in the details, and how those details are brought together, and it has a whole lot to do with the people who make your rods. Sure, materials are important. In fact, they’re extremely important, but that’s just the first step in making a great fly rod.
And that’s the truth.

Warranty

SCOTT GRAPHITE AND FIBERGLASS ROD ORIGINAL OWNER WARRANTY

We design rods for high performance and build them to last a lifetime.  Sometimes things don’t go as planned and you break a rod (sometimes even we mess up).  It’s for these occasions that we warranty our fly rods and have a dedicated repair department of rod craftsmen. The Scott Lifetime Warranty applies only to the original owner of new graphite and fiberglass rods, purchased from an authorized Scott dealer, that are registered within 30 days of purchase.  Unregistered or resold rods are not covered by this warranty. Rods purchased from third party sites such as Ebay are not covered by the warranty. The warranty does not cover loss or theft, loss or damage caused by transportation such as airlines, UPS, FedEx, US Mail, intentional damage, or damage from neglect. Scott guarantees every registered fly rod and blank we craft with a serial number greater than 35,000 (made prior to ~1994). Thread colors may vary from those on the original rod. Discontinued cosmetic options and components may be replaced with their most comparable equivalent.

SCOTT GRAPHITE AND FIBERGLASS BLANK ORIGINAL OWNER WARRANTY

Scott blanks carry the same warranty as our built rods, but we do not warranty the components or labor contributed by the custom rod builder. Broken sections built from blanks will be replaced by unfinished blanks. Please remove any components on broken sections prior to returning the broken rod.

SCOTT SC WARRANTY

Every Scott bamboo rod comes with a warranty that covers defects in materials and workmanship for one year from the date of purchase. This warranty is valid for the original owner only. Any modification and/or repair other than by Scott will void your warranty. For further information on your SC warranty and helpful care instructions, please reference the warranty card included with your rod.
