    Stealth are the agents. You should be able to get it from any dealer who sells Stealth products.

    Howzit Peter,

    I know Philip Meyer had some Scotts in his store. Not sure which ones, but give him a call - it could be already on your door step!

    Cheers

    Around the steel no tortur'd worm shall twine, No blood of living insect stain my line;
    Let me, less cruel, cast feather'd hook, With pliant rod athwart the pebbled brook,
    Silent along the mazy margin stray, And with fur-wrought fly delude the prey

    it seems everyone has problems getting scott stock out of the stealth guys... surely its a conflict of interest being a dealer and as well as a stand alone tackle company?

    i find it ridiculous that its easier for me to order a rod from a fly shop in the states.

    are any of the stealth guys on the forum? ive got no problem with people making a profit and paying the duties etc but you just feel someone should be representing this rod company properly?

    Unfortunately, Stealth also hold the agency for Bauer reels but do not actually have any. Madening really... I love me some Bauer reels and would love to sell the heck out of em.

    have Stealth and Bauer been contacted by anyone else? Surely there is a time frame and performance target on any sole distributorship agreement?

    Peter, Stealth doesn't carry the range of Scott rods in stock because their rate of sale just doesn't justify that sort of stockholding. (Enter the marketing debate...) That said, they will be happy to help us get hold of the rods for you. How sure are you about the ones you want? If you know what you want, I'll get onto them for you and get prices, estimated waiting period, etc.
