9'0" 5-weight 4-piece fly rod
The Scott A4 905-4 is the perfect cornerstone for your rod collection. This fine fly rod will catch any trout that swims, whether in a lake, river or creek. If you with a wide variety of water, including rivers, creeks, lakes and ponds, choose this model. If you will fish mostly smaller rivers (less than 60 feet across), consider the A4 855-4. The A4 905-4 is more versatile and the A4 855-4 is slightly ligher. In either case, you'll have a rod that will anchor your collection.

I test-cast this model with an SA Textured GPX Taper WF5F line and found that it resulted in a medium-fast action. Though not as stiff as I expected, the A4 905-4 is imminently castable in a wide range of distances and will fall right into the hands of most anglers. It is smooth and sweet from twenty feet to over 60 feet and can go much longer than that in the hands of a strong caster. I loved the action of this rod, but came to the conclusion that the angler should think carefully about the line choice. A heavy line, such as the Rio Grand or SA Magnum, will make this a "medium" action rod, whereas a Rio Trout LT or SA Trout Taper would make the rod "fast" action.
Line recommendation: Rio Gold or Rio Trout LT, SA Trout Taper
