WINSTON GRAPHITE FLY RODS

 

Q U A L I T Y  A N D  C R A F T S M A N S H I P
AT WINSTON, ROD BUILDING IS A CRAFT, AND HAS BEEN FOR OVER 75 YEARS. MUCH OF THE PROCESS OF MAKING A WINSTON ROD IS DONE BY HAND. GUIDES ARE HAND WRAPPED, CORK IS POUNDED AND HAND SANDED, THE EPOXY COATING ON THE GUIDE WRAPS IS HAND APPLIED, ALL INFORMATION IS HAND WRITTEN ON THE ROD, THE REEL SEAT IS HAND TURNED AND BUFFED, THE ROD IS HAND INSPECTED INNUMERABLE TIMES AND THEN CLEANED BEFORE SHIPPING. WHEN YOU HOLD ONE, IT IS EASY TO SEE THE ARTISTRY WITH WHICH EACH OF OUR RODS IS MADE, AND WHY EACH COMES WITH AN UNCONDITIONAL LIFETIME GUARANTEE.

Winston WT Rods
The WT RODS are among the most popular fly rods ever designed for trout fishing. The vast majority of trout fishing situations involve casts of less than 60 feet, usually far shorter. And when you're working a fish closer in, success often depends upon your ability to make gentle, delicate, accurate presentations. For this reason many experienced anglers consider the Winston WT rods to be the perfect choice for such fishing. With progressive tapers, they work nicely at close distances yet can make longer casts when needed. Proven on trout waters worldwide, these medium action graphite rods are incredibly smooth, offer wonderful touch and feel, and the tips are soft enough to protect 6X and 7X tippets while playing and landing large trout. Fish one for a day and you will be hooked forever.
2-Weight. This rod can make very delicate presentations, and is designed for casting to smaller fish at shorter distances with size 16 or under dry flies.
3-Weight. Great lightweight fly rods that are perfect for casting at short to medium distances when there's not much wind.
4-Weight. Excellent for a wide variety of conditions, with enough power to handle larger dry flies and even some wind. Of note is the 8 foot "Tom Morgan Favorite," one of our most popular spring creek rods.
5-Weight. Smooth enough for delicate dry fly presentations, yet powerful enough to cast a streamer 60 feet into the wind.
6-Weight. All-around rod that can handle just about every trout situation, from dry flies to big, weighted stonefly nymphs.
