This rod has caught trout for me in Pennsylvania, Maryland, Montana, Wyoming, Idaho and Colorado. I’ve put a lot of fishing days on this stick while employing as many different techniques as possible, using a variety of different fly lines and leader systems to give the best overall picture. I would like to add that this review is not written after a weekend of fishing with a new rod. We get in depth for this review, and it’s a long one, but hopefully it gets you thinking about not only this rod, but some different approaches to being versatile with less equipment. As a result, I often carry two rods, one to maximize my nymphing efforts through most of the day, and one in case of a hatch and I need a rod to easily cast a fly line.

Though I enjoy using rods that are strictly purpose built for Euro nymphing, I find that there are a lot of days that I simply want to cast a fly line instead of a long leader.

I chose this specific rod to add to my lineup because I was looking for something that is purely versatile.

For this post I’ll be sharing an in-depth breakdown of my thoughts regarding the Scott Centric 10 ft 4 wt.
