Scott Sector 906-4

Reviews

1. Rated 5 out of 5

   Rod Designer Jim Bartschi believes this is the best 6-weight Scott has ever designed for any purpose. It’s a tremendous streamer rod for heavy trout and bass, more powerful than the S 846-4 for articulated streamers, rabbit leaches and other wind resistant or water-logged patterns. The casting action is simply marvelous. It loads so naturally in the top half of the rod, but with supreme control and power from the butt section. This rod showcases Bartschi’s complex and purposeful rod design capability. When fishing the flats, use a Rio Direct Core Bonefish line. For bass, choose your favorite specialty bass taper or the Rio InTouch Big Nasty. Have fun.

   This is the finest 6wt Scott that I have ever had the pleasure of casting. The overall swing weight of this rod is amazing. It forms tight little loops almost instantly and is a dream to cast. I was a pretty big fan of the 906-4 Meridian, but the new Sector is superior in every way imaginable. It is light, stable, intuitive, and smooth. This rod would make for a killer flats rod or streamer rod for any angler.

   This rod is the 6-weight unicorn. For years I have been asked about a 6-weight for the salt and freshwater, a rod that can throw a large streamer with a sinking line, or a bonefish fly and a tropical floating line, maybe an indicator rig or a grasshopper. This rod can perform all these tasks with the best of them. A true all around 9-foot 6-weight that can handle any of the tasks called upon for its line weight. Bartschi says this is the best 906 that he’s ever made, and I absolutely agree. Like all the Sector rods, the 906 possesses a suppleness and touch that is inexplicable with the lightness in the hand and the amount of power this rod generates. The feeling of control with line in the air is second to none and you feel like you are in total command of every inch of fly line that leaves the tip. The Sector 906 has the lightness in hand of a high end 5-weight and power through the cast of a high end 7-weight. An argument could be made that other 9-foot 6-weights can perform certain specific tasks better than the Sector 906, but no other 9-foot 6-weight is as good as this rod at everything you could dream of doing with a 6-weight.
