Cool, discounted meridians

 

[TX_Brad]

Following...Do we know when the Sectors are expected to be available for the public? I'd love to get my hand on some discounted Meridians.

That's a one thousand dollar fishy pole.

 

[Camren]

Super excited... Cant wait to buy on meridian on discount!!!

 

[jsnipes]

I read 8/8 on another thread. Meridian is my favorite rod...would buy one of these sight unseen as soon as available. I am a total sucker

 

[Davo406]

Do you order direct from Scott when the Meridians go on sale? What’s their typical discount?

I assume they did their fair share of testing those stripping guides but putting an insert in a frame that flexes doesn't make much sense to me. It's hard to tell how the frame is constructed from the picture but I wonder how long or how much flexing it would take before they start popping out.

First I thought you where talking about sun glasses
Nevermind

There is nothing unique or special about a titanium guide with a ceramic insert. You can get one in your favorite flavor. Carbaloy. Aluminum Oxide. Alconite. NanoLite. Zirconia. Or the undisputed king of hard, Silicon Carbide.

What's unique is that the frame appears to be a recoil frame opposed to a rigid one. This is the first time I've seen a ceramic insert in a recoil frame, perhaps I'm living in the stone age.

So, do we know that the Sector is replacing the Meridian, or is it going to compliment the Meridian, like Loomis' NRX and Asquith?

Update....I do see that the Trident website states that Scott is replacing the Meridian with the Sector.

 

[R-Factor]

I'm with many of you guys...the greatest news about the Sector isn't the Sector itself, but the fact that we should be seeing special pricing on Meridians soon
I own 2 Meridians right now, but have been (not so) patiently waiting for this moment to come.

 

[Tom Ilg]

Okay, I suppose it's official. I just checked the Scott website this morning and the Sector has been added and the Meridian no longer appears.

 

[Fishshoot]

Get in touch with your guide buddies and local shops, they will have first dibs on discounted meridians!!

You're going to want the Sector. I cast some prototypes in May, a guide in the Keys had the 8 and the 11.
You'll be casting further and with more accuracy, especially in windy conditions.

But isn't the best part of the Meridian the feel and accuracy in close?

Very true, have a look at this write up from Telluride Anglers:

called my fly shop, they said no rods until sometime in september will be actually available.
