Product Description
Scott Swing 988-4 fly rod
9’8″ 8-weight, 4-piece, single handed fly rodComes with aluminum case and partitioned cloth liner
Recommendation from Rod Designer Jim Bartschi: Yep, you’re in the lineup bombing bead chain eye flies to the opposite bank on sinking shooting heads, settling in for the swing, and waiting for a sea fresh chromer to tug on the line. This rod will cast a shooting head a country mile. It also excels for targeting big steelhead or salmon in tight quarters rivers like some found in SE Alaska, Great Lakes region, or Norway.
It’s our top choice for a dedicated silver salmon rod, handling both top water and sunken flies with ease.
