Scott Sector 8108-2 (8′ 10″ 8-wt, 2-pc)

Reviews

1. Rated 5 out of 5

   A spectacular bonefish, red or striper rod for the angler who doesn’t require the convenience of a 4-piece fly rod, the S 8108-2 offers unmatched casting range, especially with a Rio Direct Core Bonefish line, our favorite for this fly rod. As compared with the former Meridian 8108-2, the new Sector is easier to cast and much better on short shots. It is every bit as powerful as its predecessor, but more well-tuned for a complete casting range, short to long.

   The 8108-2 is a great fly rod. As is consistent with all of the new two piece Sector rods, the 8108 is remarkably light and stable. I found it to be slightly quicker than the 908, but it still possesses the same feel that Scott 8wt rods have become well known for. It casts well at all distances and is wonderfully accurate. Though I still prefer both the 908 and 848, the 8108 would make for a great rod for anyone that is not handicapped by a two piece rod. I cast this with the Rio DirectCore Bonefish and would highly recommend it.

   The Sector 8108/2 is the Sector 8-weight for the crew that loved the 2-piece Meridian 8-weight. Of the three Sector 8-weights, the 2-piece rod felt the most substantial and needed a little bit more caster input. I am splitting hairs here, but I preferred the 4-piece models to this rod. For an 8-weight that stays in the gunnel of a skiff this is a hard rod to look past. The 2-piece configuration makes it really simple to keep rigged up or go from the garage to the gunnel.
