Scott Radian Design Review: inside the factory with Rod Designer Jim Bartschi

Scott Radian fly rods are designed and built from tip to grip by the great Scott Fly Rod Company in Montrose, Colorado. Inspired by the quest for a super high line speed rod with trademark Scott feel and touch, rod designer Jim Bartschi designed the Radian using multi-modulus graphite materials, proprietary tapers and the highest quality components found on any fly rod in the world. In this video, Telluride Angler owner John Duncan interviews Bartschi about the design and construction of the Radian. Anglers catch a rare glimpse inside the rolling room and production floor of Scott Fly Rods as Bartschi and Duncan discuss the new Radian series.

The Radian's on my wish list. I got a chance to try one recently and was very, very impressed. And it's got the looks to match. Really cool to have some insight into this rod's development.

I love the hand painted markings. Anything printed looks cheap. Painted blanks look cheap too.
