[Norwegian]

Scott isn't a too much used twohander here in Norway. Many find the ARC series too slow and soft for our fishing style. However, the SAS twohanders are about getting a real reputation, by some compared with the Loomis GLX series, maybe the most acknowledged series here in my country. Considering the price of the SAS it is a VERY interesting rod. Any opinions from North America?

I ordered one recently and it was backordered. Perhaps because the Norwegians are buying them. I got interested in them because Simon has been praising them. You might find his comment somewhere back in the archives.

This might be a stupid question but.... Who makes SAS rods. I'd like to see one, even in a catalog or online.

I think that your question is "who makes the SAS" . Both the Arc and SAS are made by Scott. The SAS is sells for about two thirds of the ARC, retailing for $400 to $430. Unfortunately few catalogs carry any two handed rods, let alone Scott SAS. One that does is Bob Marriotts. Their web site is www.bobmarriotts.com. To see the rods, go to www.scottflyrod.com.

The SAS series is a line of inexpensive rods produced by Scott...the single handers run $250-$350 and SAS two-handers run around $450.

Avaliable in the SAS line of two-handers are a 13' #8 and 14' #9...both are 3 piecers.
