Scott has come out with a fly rod that epitomizes value packed saltwater performance.
Scott tidal rod review.
Your 8wt mangrove is a softer rod than the tidal and the aetos is lighter and a faster rod but not quite the lifting power as the other 2.
A solid value on a great performing rod that s made in the u s a sean.
It looks like the meridian s younger sibling with the same attractive un sanded blank and nice blue green wraps.
A minor drawback for an outstanding rod.
Not super fast but is a great fishing rod with some good lifting power.
Scott tidal fly rod review 2014 was not the most exciting year for fly rods.
The scott tidal is very nice mid priced saltwater offering from scott.
Jim bartschi is really at the top of the industry and the top of his game at the moment.
If you re looking for a great muskie rod at a moderate price i highly recommend the scott tidal muskie pike special.
Sure sage released the new salt which we also reviewed here but there were no other releases of marquee rods and nothing that made me rethink my quiver.
The tidal is not overly heavy but not nearly as light in hand as the meridian.
It is a slower action rod than the meridian but still had lots of power.
While the tidal falls short of the performance of the meridian that s to be expected from a mid priced rod series.
Scott tidal review scott just keeps pumping out category favorites.
The tidal a mid priced saltwater series from scott sports a caster friendly blank and some features to be excited about.
I find that if i wax the ferrules once and then tape with every use it s all good.
I don t own one but have thrown it plenty of times.
