Price Paid:  $90.00 at Private Party

Summary:
I love this rod!!! I have the 8'6" 5 wt. and use it for virtually all of my trout fishing. I would say that it's closer to medium action than fast action. I casts with accuracy and it's great for longer casts as well. My other 5 wts. offer no comparison. I have a Heritage that's an absolute cannon but lacks the up close touch that this rod has. This is definitely my go to rod as far as trout are concerned.

Customer Service:
We'll see in a few weeks, although I've heard that it's great!!!

Price Paid:  $120.00 at Ebay

Summary:
Excellent rod, responds quickly and sends the line anywhere you could want it. Before buying, I cast several of the over priced and well-known "parking-lot" rods. In the end, I went for the SAS. The 6wt was a bit too fast, but the 5wt seemed perfect. Try this rod, it performs very well.

Customer Service:
No need for them yet.

Reviewed by: Alan Gustafson ,  20 days a year

Price Paid:  $195.00 at Denver angler

Summary:
I have owned this rod for 6 years and it has not failed me yet. It has handled fish from 10" to over 20" with ease. I have casted many other brands of rods at fly fishing shows and nothing compares to the scott in its price range. I liked this rod so much that I also purchased an SAS 3 weight and a SAS 6 weight.

Customer Service:
Great!!! I split the cork on the handle of my 3 weight. I sent the rod in and they replaced the entire but section including reel seat and I had my rod back in 2 1/2 weeks as good as new.

Have only casted these at fly fishing shows but in both cases I had to get up to rods that cost 3 to 4 times as much as the Scott to get to something that casted and felt even close.

Price Paid:  $245.00 at Upcountry Sportfishi

Summary:
Great ROd for the $, would be a great rod if it cost more too! What it lacks in looks it makes up for in performance. The action allows accurate casts but also can heave a fly if you have to.

Customer Service:
TBD- hopefullt not!

Reviewed by: rossibug ,  20 days a year , from Aurora, Ohio

Price Paid:  $375.00 at Cabelas

Summary:
This is a great rod. Mine is a five piece travel rod. It has caught up t ofive ound fish with ease. When my 5 wt Sage RPL+ 4 pc. travel rod broke on the same size fish, the Scott was able to handle the stress and help me land the unexpected 'beast'. A little slower action that I'd like, but I have fished from 3x to 7x tippet (with 12 ft. leader)and the rod handles that entire range.

Customer Service:
Have not had a chance to use it.
