This year, we proudly celebrate our 50th anniversary. It’s been a journey filled with fun, firsts, camaraderie, and a half century of handcrafting high performance fly rods. In contemplating the most fitting tribute to the anglers who fish Scott rods, the rod smiths that craft them, and the rod designs of Harry Wilson, Larry Kenney, and Jim Bartschi, we picked one rod from each decade that exemplifies Scott innovation and, in some way, changed the way we fish. Each was chosen from an award-winning series of Scott rods that are even more celebrated by the anglers who fish them. For those anglers, these are ‘never part with’ rods. Rather than replicating the originals, we decided to build the blanks to spec with a resto-mod approach to finishing them. They will be instantly recognizable to Scott history buffs, but we’re introducing some new surprises by finishing them with today’s best in class components and construction techniques. In celebration we offer these tribute fly rods with a heartfelt thank you to the Scott family.

Description
Overview
The STS series put Scott on the saltwater map. Widely adopted by Florida Keys captains and saltwater anglers around the globe, they were introduced at a time when saltwater fly fishing was growing rapidly, and travel to new destinations in the tropics was taking off.
STS built on the success of ARC by using multi-directional lay ups and took materials alchemy a step further utilizing the first multi-modulus blank designs.
Anglers who have followed our history fondly remember Scott’s ‘Jet Ski era’ and images of casting from the wing of a submerged aircraft and lifting cinder blocks with the rod from the top of a poling platform.
By a wide margin, the 909/3 is considered the crown jewel in this transformative series.

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 or Amazon 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 after ~ 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.
