Description
Scott Wave 9011-4
A feeling of near weightlessness in hand. Authoritatively powerful. Undoubtedly in control. Plain fun to fish.
Wave rods bring together high line speed, exceptional loop control, and point-it-and-it goes-there accuracy. They feel light and lively in hand and respond intuitively to input from the angler.
Wave rods easily handle a wide range of line densities and fly sizes, making them ideal tools for pursuing powerful fish in all fresh and saltwater environments. And when that pursuit turns into a hook up, Wave rods have lifting power to spare, helping keep fish out of structure or the depths.
Equally at home slam fishing the flats, casting fast sinking lines for stripers, or chasing carp and bass at the local park, Wave rods deliver high performance across a wide variety of fishing situations.
Technology
React
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. This puts the feel in fast. And that’s a really good thing.
X-Core
Enhanced feel, incredible stability and unequalled performance. X-Core combines the industry’s leading composite technologies with cutting edge design.
Diameter is proportional to stiffness and strength, and X-Core, or Expanded Core, technology delivers blanks that transmit feel and maintain stability better than any other design approach.
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.
This design helps the rod come alive in your hands. It’s a superior approach to the slow taper, thick walled designs that deliver stiffness at the expense of feel.
Multi-Modulus
Fine-tuned flex and recovery.
Scott pioneered the use of multi modulus fiber lay ups in blank design.
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.
The result is a rod that loads and unloads more smoothly.
ARC
Advanced Reinforced Carbon reduces torque and increases strength.
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.
Fiberfuse Resin
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.
Warranty
Scott Warranty Information
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.

Q: What specific fishing scenarios did you design this rod for, and where do you feel it truly excels in performance? A: Wave rods bring together high line speed, exceptional loop control, and point-it-and-it goes-there accuracy. They feel light and lively in hand and respond intuitively to input from the angler.
Q: What fly line would you recommend pairing with this rod? A: SA Amplitude Smooth Infinity Salt
| empty | Short | Medium | Long | FINAL SCORE |

| Caster 1 | 7.2 | 7.7 | 7.6 | 22.5 |
| Caster 2 | 6.4 | 7.2 | 6.8 | 20.4 |
| Caster 3 | 7.6 | 7.9 | 8.1 | 23.6 |

- The rod loads well at the 30’ (short) target and doesn’t feel clunky. This is not a slow rod. I actually like this rod out at the medium targets slightly better than I did the Sector. Everything feels smooth from top to bottom. Super fluid through the cast at medium targets and I’m not getting any weird feedback. I’m surprised! For a pricepoint rod, this performed very well.
- Not a ton of flex into the mid section in short, but goes where you want it. The rod definitely kicks in more at mid range and is very nice at distance – begins flexing deeper into the middle. Pretty good all-around action, but not totally convinced about lifting on heavy fish.
- This rod comes more alive once you get past 50’. It is compact within 50’ (medium) to build up line speed.
The Wave impressed the casting team, particularly at its price point. It loads cleanly at short range without feeling clunky and feels smooth and fluid through the cast at medium distance, where one caster implied it slightly edged out the Sector in overall feel. Feedback through the blank is clean and consistent, with no odd vibrations.
While it does not flex deeply into the mid section up close, accuracy remains strong. Past 50 feet the rod begins to come alive, flexing deeper and building line speed efficiently. Overall, this is a capable, well balanced rod that delivers strong all around performance without asking much of the caster.
