The new Scott Swing two handed fly rod is the new premium rod for salmon and sea trout fishing from the house of Scott. And thanks to the different models of Swing from the small river at low water, to the largest, renowned rivers in the world.
New, high standards in manufacturing, as well as the use of the latest technologies have made it possible to develop a lighter rod than ever, with which Scott inspires us again. The unmistakable, unpolished blanks from Scott are, as with the Swing, very light and transmit a great feeling in the cast! However, the use of ReAct and X-Core technologies in the blank ensure that the rod is not only light and soulful, but also give the rod the necessary power and stability! Thus, the Swing fly rod withstands years of loads and works tirelessly! This is an important factor especially in two-handed fishing, because often several hours a day are cast continuously and with high loads to entice the salmon to bite. Scott's ARC2 technology, which has also been further developed, is another reason for the lightness of the two-handed rod. Without losing strength and sturdiness, Scott has managed to make the ARC construction of the blanks again 35% lighter, which is fabulous and a brilliant advantage when fishing with the long two-handed rod. The handle of the Swing rod convinces with a fine cork, which has an ideal shape and that even in the lower part of the handle for a perfect control of the rod over the underhand. The aluminum reel seat, which has a virtually indestructible Military Spec coating, was chosen as a down-lock variant to distribute the weight of the rod perfectly over the reel and to place the center of gravity somewhat in the underhand.
In short: The Scott Swing two handed fly rod is not only extremely light and well thought out, it has in addition to the latest technologies exclusively high-quality components, such as titanium rings and an extremely robust coating of the reel seat. Coupled with the fast recovery speed and the medium fast action of the ultra-light blank, the Swing from Scott is a pleasure to cast and in the fight with a Fish, no matter if it's a seatrout, steelhead or Salmon!
Scott Technologies
- ReAct: ReAct technology is a development for fast rods that need to demonstrate high recovery speed, but not compromise precision and feel to the rod in any way. ReAct counteracts the energy-sapping vibrations by speeding up the recovery of the blank without having to stiffen the rod with more material. This quickly brings the feeling back to the rod and the angler.
- Carbon Link: Carbon Link is a precision construction technique using an innovative new resin system that combines carbon fibers in a very dense matrix. The result? An exponentially lighter, more efficient rod that reduces casting fatigue and effort while improving accuracy and versatility.
- Military Spec: Another first that Scott has in store! Most reel seats are finished with a shiny, thin and easily damaged Type-2 anodizing. Scratches in the Type 2 anodizing expose the aluminum underneath, leading to worn surfaces and the risk of corrosion. Mil-Spec III anodizing penetrates the surface of the aluminum to create the hardest, most durable, corrosion-resistant finish available.
- X-Core: Enhanced throwing feel, incredible stability and unmatched performance. X-Core combines industry-leading composite technologies with cutting-edge design. This creates a thin, lightweight blank that transmits plenty of feel in the cast, yet is ultra stable.
- Multi-Modulus: By always varying the fiber tensile modulus along the length of the rod, the stiffness and recovery in the blank can be precisely controlled. Scott truly pioneered the use of multi-modulus fiber layups in blank design here, developing a rod that loads and unloads very smoothly.
- ARC2: The new ARC2 technology increases the strength of the blanks without adding weight. In addition, the strength counteracts torque so that casting accuracy is maintained. In addition, the new ARC2 version is another 35% lighter than the ARC technology launched 15 years ago, setting new records and standards for the future.
- Fibrefuse Resin: The new, improved resin system uses a new chemistry to close the bond to the individual graphite fibers. The reinforcement compared to conventional epoxy resins is 20% here.
- Natural Finish: Is an unsanded carbon blank that is manufactured to the latest standards. Scott's advanced resin systems penetrate the blank, leaving a durable finish that can withstand years of abuse.
