The new Scott Centric fly rod has dropped, and it is a heavy hitter! (Not literally heavy, it’s quite light) Built in Montrose, Colorado, our friends at Scott let us test drive the 9’ 5 weight Centric, and we were pleasantly surprised. Replacing the older generation rod, the Radian, the new Centric has backbone to spare, but the necessary amount of feel and flex for roll casts and mends across diverse currents.
Of course, any fast rod wouldn’t be complete without the obligatory “can we cast the whole fly line in the park?” test. The answer is yes…but that’s not what anyone actually needs in a trout fly rod. So the question came down to fishability, and it is. Short casts were surprising, which might sound like an odd thing to say, but usually casts under 20 feet with a fast rod suck. They did not suck with the Centric. Quick snappy short casts were great when casting nymph rigs and stack mending in weird currents.
The Scott Centric truly shines from 30 feet an onward, which it casts dries, nymphs, and streamers with ease. Very light in hand, with a light swing weight, we did not find ourselves giving this rod the death grip as with so many fast action rods.
The Scott Centric fly rods are truly fast meets feel, taken to the next level. Stop by the shop to give them a cast or find them on our online shop: duranglers.com...
