This is one of our favorite rods for backpacking into Colorado canyon rivers. This rod has plenty of reach for line mending, and is one of our best roll casting rods. Some anglers prefer a fast action rod for nymphs and streamers, but the moderate action G 906 has distinct advantages. The progressive action helps form consistent casting loops with awkward strike indicators and split shot, and makes it easy to apply "english" for line mending across tricky currents. This is a great backcountry nymphing rod or light travel bass rod.

| G 906/4: I purchased this rod quite a few years ago while on a fishing trip to Montana and it remains, to this day, one of my favorite " big river" rods. When the wind comes up, or I am fishing from a drift boat, canoe, or float boat I'll routinely reach for this rod. The best way I can describe it is to say that the G 906/4 "just seems to suit me," a feeling that grows on many anglers of Scott rods. There's something about the way it casts; the power combined with extreme delicacy, the ability to fish an incredible range of flies, and the fact that I have caught hundreds of fish on this rod, all combine to make it a special rod for me. This rod does it all and I love it! | ![]() |
