Description

Scott G Series 905

9' 5 weight, four piece fly rod

The Scott G Series 905 falls into that presentation category of modern fly rods with a true medium action to help turnover long leaders and deliver delicate presentations. One of our all-time favorite rod choices to fish during the Mother’s Day Caddis hatch on the Yellowstone and the Trico Spinner falls on the Missouri River. A wonderful blend of classic feel utilizing lightweight componentry and advanced graphite technologies exclusive to Scott Fly Rods.

The Scott G Series is an iconic, medium-action fly rod that loads deep into the blank with smooth transitions throughout the casting stroke. The impeccable craftsmanship of every Scott Fly Rod is showcased throughout the G-Series with exquisite attention to detail in the finishes and componentry. Modern technology, combined with a classic feel, results in a fly rod that feels and performs exceptionally well wherever wild trout thrive.

The G-Series was awarded the “Best New Freshwater Fly Rod” by the fly-fishing industry at the 2017 IFTD Show.

Technology

ReAct - Technology combines our X-Core design with a new complex materials and taper system to create a break-through in fast action rod design. Distance, control and accuracy are compromised by waves that vibrate in the rod, even after the cast has been made. Simply making the rod stiffer to stop these vibrations kills feel. ReAct counteracts energy sapping vibrations by speeding the recovery of the blank without the need to stiffen the rod with more material.

X-Core - X-Core combines the industry’s leading composite technologies with cutting edge design. We use fast taper mandrels with low-mass, thin-walled blanks and proprietary ARC reinforcement to create rods that have stiffness with feel, and stability with sensitivity.

Multi Modulus Blanks -By varying the fiber tensile modulus along the length of the rod, we’re able to precisely control the stiffness and recovery speed of our blanks.

ARC - Scott is the leader in carbon blank reinforcements. Our latest ARC technology adds hoop strength to our blanks without adding weight, and counteracts torque that can reduce casting accuracy and line control.

Fiber Fuse - Our all new FiberFuse enhanced resin system uses new chemistry to create bonds between each graphite fiber that are over 20% stronger than conventional epoxy resins.

Invitational Review

From the manufacturer: What specific fishing scenarios did you design this rod for, and where do you feel it truly excels in performance?
Dry fly ONLY presentation series. Light tippet specialists. Internal ferrule makes this series fish more like a 1-piece rod, with flex and power through the whole rod. ALL USA MADE.

From the manufacturer: What fly line would you recommend pairing with this rod?

Any true-weight fly line (Amplitude Smooth Trout Standard recommended).

Caster Notes:

Dry Fly Course | 10’ 5x leader with Yard Indicator

I thought this was a relatively smooth casting rod at all distances. It performs best in close at 20’-30’.
The only negative was that I needed to help at 50’. Rod was smooth. It is excellent in the 20’-30’ range. Really good at 30’. The rod helped me cast at these distances. I could use a little and lots of line speed. Nice grip and reel seat.
Grip is a touch large in diameter. There is flex through the rod as designed. Pretty smooth, but not completely unified. The rod has a reasonable feel throughout.

Yellow Dog Final Takeaway
The Scott G Series 5-weight is a smooth, moderately-paced rod that truly shines in the 20’–30’ range, offering excellent feel, control, and feedback for close-in trout work with dries. It flexes deeply and evenly as designed, making it an enjoyable casting experience, especially for those who favor a more classic, slower tempo. While it remains relatively smooth at all distances, it requires extra effort to perform beyond 40 feet and isn’t built for power casting or heavy rigs. A great choice for technical dry fly fishing and anglers who appreciate a responsive, feel-driven rod with a relaxed rhythm.

Warranty

SCOTT GRAPHITE AND FIBERGLASS ROD ORIGINAL OWNER WARRANTY

We design rods for high performance and build them to last a lifetime. Sometimes things don't go as planned and you break a rod (sometimes even we mess up). It's for these occasions that we warranty our fly rods and have a dedicated repair department of rod craftsmen.

The Scott Lifetime Warranty applies only to the original owner of new graphite and fiberglass rods, purchased from an authorized Scott dealer, that are registered within 30 days of purchase.

Unregistered or resold rods are not covered by this warranty. Rods purchased from third party sites such as Ebay or Amazon are not covered by the warranty.

The warranty does not cover loss or theft, loss or damage caused by transportation such as airlines, UPS, FedEx, US Mail, intentional damage, or damage from neglect. Scott guarantees every registered fly rod and blank we craft with a serial number greater than 35,000 (made after ~ 1994). Thread colors may vary from those on the original rod. Discontinued cosmetic options and components may be replaced with their most comparable equivalent.

As of December 2019, the cost to warranty and service a Scott Fly Rod is $50 plus shipping.
