We beat them all, again!

The S4s, saltwater version of famous Scott’s fast action rod, has awarded prestigious title as a Dealers Choice product, during recently finished Fly Fishing Retailer Show in Denver, Colorado.

We are very proud with this, especially having in mind that Sage also introduced its Xi3 saltwater series … but failed :-)

Scott president Jim Bartschi (on left) and Ian Crabtree, proud and happy!

S4s award

Scott S4s, already tested in Florida by Jim Bartschi. Anxious to have this one!!!

Distance Casting Stroke!

Categoiry: Daily Flycasting!

With distance fly casting, everything has to be longer:

  1. long haul
  2. long stroke
  3. long SLP (straight line path)
  4. long drift
  5. longer timing (wait longer!)
  6. longer rod
  7. long belly fly line

Also, high aiming is needed!

Of course, keep SMOOTH all of these above! And RELAX your grip!
