The Scott Difference

The Scott Difference is first and foremost about our fly rods. Building the Ultimate Fishing Tools takes a full commitment to using the best materials, components and craftsmanship. It's why we continue to craft every Scott rod, one at a time, in our shop in Montrose, Colorado. Handcrafting every rod lets us control each step of the process (and it keeps our soap supplier happy).

In the quest to have our hands on fly rods every day, we're either on the water fishing or in the shop working hard to perfect our craft. Sure, we could let someone else build our rods for us, but then we wouldn't be directly involved in every detail, or get to scrub the graphite off our hands at the end of the day, would we? 

So you see, the Scott Difference is also about a team of dedicated people. It's why you'll only find Scott rods inside the doors of the best specialty fly shops. It's why we have such a fine community of Scott employees and Pros, and it's why we all believe in access to healthy fish and habitats.

For some of us, fishing is a way of life that includes caring about our watersheds and oceans right along with our equipment choices and fishing buddies. And that's not some hippie idealism. It just makes good sense to take care of the places that bring us so many of life's best moments and that helps ensure we'll be handcrafting fly rods well into the future.

Do all paths lead to the same destination? Not from our point of view. In fact, the Scott Difference is really about the paths we choose to take. So grab a new Scott fly rod and come along with us!
