Scott G Series 843-4

Reviews

1. Rated 5 out of 5

   The GS 843-4 is everything we want in a general purpose light line fly rod. The length seems truly optimal for a 3-weight and the rod flexes with uncanny evenness from tip to butt. We love progressive action rods that allow the caster to feel every inch of line loading the blank. Because the materials are so thin and light, most 3-weights over 8’ have a bouncy nature. Not this one. It locks in gorgeous loops at every casting distance. Best lines include the Rio Technical Trout, SA Trout Taper, Rio Perception and Rio Trout LT.

   The Scott G Series 843 strikes the perfect balance between line weight, rod length and flex profile for a small freestone 3 weight. Livelier and with a slightly quicker tempo than the 883, this is the light trout rod go to. Like all the G series rods it is light in the hand, smooth and stable through the casting stroke and simply a joy to hold up with line in the air. This will be a top choice for our local rivers and should be at the top of the list for anglers fishing smaller rivers and larger creeks. Pair it with an SA Trout or Rio Gold and remember to let the line land every now and then.
