I like the actions of the Scott F series rods as well but am not fond of the style of cork winding check they are using lately. I grip the rod with my index finger pointing to the target and the sharp edge of the current F-series winding check is uncomfortable. I guess that's another reason why I settled on an older brown glass F-series with a cigar-style grip.
you can't deny it is an icon with Scott. To move away from that composition ring is almost like totally losing your identity. I think they have no choice but to keep it. I bought a Scott factory rod way back in 1979 from a dealer in West Yellowstone on a whim. I later sold it and rather wish I had kept it. I've never been of a collector bent, so letting stuff go has always come easily for me. When I look back at some of the stuff I've had over the years and the current values of some of it, I realize I should have had better sense.

Just kindn. That is a sweet rod. I can think of a couple dozen pieces of water that rod would excell on.
