Scott Swing – Single Handed Fly Rods
Sometimes the fishing, or your preferences, just call for a single hander. These are also the finest general streamer rods we make.
Perfect when the species or water call for a single hander, especially when deploying techniques like nymph and indicator, or micro-tube riffle hitching. This is also one of our all time favorite streamer rods for any species.
This is a great all-rounder for destinations like Alaska or Iceland.
To catch steelhead and salmon, you need to swim the fly at the right angle, the right depth, and the right speed. The right rod can help solve that puzzle.
But these are the fish of a thousand casts, so preferences also play a big role. You can fish the same fish in the same water with a single hander, a short two hander, or the very long.

I’ve used this rod in Alaska for steelhead and it’s been a game changer. The action is smooth and I can cast accurately even in windy conditions. Great for indicator fishing and streamer presentations.
Richard Rampling –
Fished it in Iceland during spring runs. The rod responds well to subtle movements and helps me keep the fly at the right depth. Perfect for nymphing and micro-tube techniques.
Carolyn Roberts –
Solid performance in streamer fishing. A bit stiff at the tip when casting long distances, but overall very responsive and reliable in fast water.
Adrian Lambert –
The Scott Swing is my go-to for river fishing. It’s lightweight and easy to handle with one hand, which is perfect when I’m moving quickly between spots.
Nathan Johnston –
Used it during a trip to a remote stream. The rod holds up well in cold water and gives good feedback when the fish take the fly. Slight learning curve at first, but worth it.
