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.
