Scott Sector 8410-4

Reviews

1. Rated 5 out of 5

   The most accurate casting 10-weight on the market, the S 8410-4 is designed for fishing docks and mangroves for large snook and tarpon. Its unique length offers terrific leverage for stopping a surging fish from reaching cover. This model also makes a fantastic boat rod for striped bass, where the angler may cast all day without the fatigue of swinging a 9’ fly rod. The Rio Direct Core Tarpon WF10F line is a match made in heaven for the S 8410-4, but the rod will confidently fish any saltwater line that’s close to a 10-weight.

   This is one of the lightest 10wt rods I have ever cast. It produces a crazy amount of power from the butt section but is still a very smooth casting rod with great feel for a 10. It is amazingly accurate at all distances and picks up line very well for a shorter rod. I cast this rod with the DirectCore Tarpon line and was very pleased with the pairing. This is a great shorter rod for fishing mangroves and would be a killer pike stick for the freshwater guys out there. I would highly recommend this rod to anyone looking for a slightly shorter 10wt with superb lifting power.

   This rod is the biggest surprise out of the Sector lineup. The Sector 8410 makes you reconsider what a 10-weight rod is. The 8410 is so light in the hand and commands a 10-weight line so confidently that it was hard for me to wrap my head around the rod I was holding doing what it was doing with the 10-weight line on the reel. In the hand the rod feels too light to handle the 10-weight line. As soon as you put line in the air you know that the rod not only handles the line, but commands it. The 8410 is excellent at close range and an absolute rocket launcher at distance. The shorter length takes some of the sting out of casting the 10-weight line all day. You can really feel the benefit of the shorter length making the swing easier and you can watch the fly get to the target quicker. The 8410 is light enough in the hand and playful enough through the cast that you feel like this rod could be a bonefish stick. You need to pick this rod up to believe it. If you have some questions about this one of a kind rod, pick up the phone and let’s talk. The Sector 8410 is the real deal.
