Scott G Series 904-4

Reviews

1. Rated 5 out of 5

   The improvements in the 9’ rods are spectacular. In the previous series, casting the 9-footers proved that 8’8” was the optimal length in those rods. Now, there is literally no difference in the feel and performance. This is no small miracle. Longer rods cast best with long headed lines, so choose an SA Trout Taper, Rio Technical Trout or Rio Trout LT for optimal performance.

   This was my favorite rod in the G Series lineup. I’d been wanting to see a really sweet 9 foot 4 weight from Scott and they delivered. I find a lot of 9 foot 4 weights to be too fast and stiff to perform with a small dry fly. These rods tend to require a 4.5 to 5 weight line to adequately load them and they leave me feeling like they’re more of a light 5 weight than a true 4 weight. Not the GS 904. This rod held the line in the air with confidence. This rod cast with intuitive control. This rod begged me to throw another cast. Not only my favorite in the G Series lineup, but my favorite 9 foot 4 weight from Scott. If you’re in the market for a 9 foot 4 weight, put this thing at the top of your list with the Sage MOD 490 and the GLoomis Asquith 490. I like the Rio Gold and the SA Mastery Trout on the GS 904.

   This rod is superb or amazing.

   It feels like a four but throws like a five

   I have fished the Scott G Series 904 exclusively the past three times out. It is an incredible tool for medium sized stream fishing and I am overly impressed by the tippet protection on this rod. I have been fishing either a dry/dropper or a nymph rig with a small indicator. The rod casts the rigs perfectly. I am a fan of medium action rods and of Scott’s in general. I have added the 906 to my quiver and will have the 885 in the next few weeks. You cannot go wrong with this rod series.
