FRESH, FAST, AND UNFILTERED, the new Centric Fly Rod is set to replace the ever so sought after and loved Radian Fly Rod. If the Centric is anything like the Radian it is sure to be one sweet all-around trout rod. Scott Fly Rods is one of the few fly rod companies these days that doesn’t come out with new models of rods each year so the release of the Centric Fly Rod is big news for the Colorado based rod company. Priced at $895.00 the new Centric will be a premium all-around fly rod. We can’t wait to get our hands on this rod.
From Scott Fly Rods, “Cutting edge Centric series fly rods deliver new levels of stability, recovery speed, and range while giving anglers tons of feedback through the easy flexing tip sections and highly transmissive blanks.
These are the most efficient rods Scott has ever created. High line speed, flat, stable loops are easily generated at any distance with minimal effort from the caster.
Apparent to anglers of any skill level, these rods feel very light in the hand, are insanely accurate, and are simply a joy to fish at any distance.
Ease of roll casts and mends is next level. The ability to control loop shape and line speed at any distance give anglers wide ranging versatility.
Centric rods combine new tapers and multi-modulus lay ups with a new resin system to increase fiber density and reduce weight, and they feature our new generation ARC reinforcement for greater stability along multiple axes. New custom rolling equipment allows us to control fiber placement and density with new levels of precision.
And just to top it all off, we designed new standard-setting componentry for Centric rods that redefine functionality, durability, and beauty.
Scott Centric rods are fit with Flor grade cork, new titanium stripping guides with super slick zirconia inserts, new low glare Snakebrand Universal snake guides, and a new fully milled reel seat featuring speed threads, easy grip knurling, self-indexing hoods, micarta inserts, a special Delrin lock washer, and type 3 flat black hard coat.”

The fly industry needs to get top trout rods into the 4-500$ range . Anything above that is simply for ego of the buyer . Catching a six inch trout on a 900-1100$ rod and 400$ real with 110$ fly line is a tad…overkill.
