Scott Radian 10 foot 4 weight Revisited
In 2017 I did a post on why I purchased a Scott Radian 10 foot for 4 weight line. Back at that tine, my central interest was learning more about euro-nymphing. And since my longest rod was 9 foot, that meant I was in the market for a rod with more reach. In those years, euro nymphing rods were typically 11 to 12 feet for a 3 weight line. But the thought of dropping a chunk of cash on a fly rod of such limited versatility was a difficult pill to swallow. So I begin looking for a compromise, a rod capable of euro nymphing, but still effective for dries, wets, even streamers.
I found that rod in the Radian 10 foot for 4 weight line. It has proven itself to be an exceptionally versatile rod. I’m proud of my purchase and proud to own this beautifully made rod. It has been a win win. Yes in recent times the Radian has been discontinued, but if your looking for a great casting, highly accurate, used fly rod with reach, this could be your baby.
PS The butt cap on my rod came loose. Be sure to check yours from time to time,
