The reaction around the fly fishing world toward the new Scott Radian Series Fly Rod has been nothing short of frenzied. Lucky for Scott, and for you, this fly rod lives up to the hype. Thanks to Scott's ReAct technology, the Radian delivers short-range casts without breaking a tippet or falling apart at the end of a long-distance cast. This is due, in part, to a durable X-Core blank design and a re-engineered taper profile. FiberFuse resin enhances the strength of the blank by impregnating each strand of carbon on a molecular level, and further increases accuracy by providing a damping effect to rod oscillations.All of this technology would be enough to elevate the Radian Series above the rest, but when you add Scott's attention to detail and the finest materials and hardware, they really become something special. High grade Portuguese cork delivers exceptional comfort in the grip. Custom burled box elder spacers, sunset wrap accents, and black anodized reel seats set the Radian Series apart from its brethren in the Scott family, and give these fly rods subtle, sophisticated beauty to match their groundbreaking performance. X-Core Design - Fast-taper, hollow-core blank design for the ultimate in stiffness and control Multi-modulus graphite blanks for the ideal balance of light weight and smooth action Titanium SiC stripping guides Snake Brand self-lubricating Universal coils Hard-anodized reel seat and collars Natural carbon finishRead our full review of the Best New Fly Rods of 2014.
