I have a soft spot for Scott rods and the Scott heritage. That's probably why I'm so obsessed with Larry Kenney's tapers. This is a Kenney 8', 5/6wt prototype blank in 5pc configuration made for my friend Max, who is also a Scott aficionado. We decided to dress it up in Scott appointments, with a sharp, black Rec seat, a curvy Ritz grip and a spherical fighting butt. Very similar to the Scott SW rods from the 90's designed by Chico Fernandez. We tried some spiral wraps, but decided to go for sparse orange tipping Fine Tackle style. The Abel reel looks like it was made for this rod, and check out that serial number. This is an amazing combo...
