Winston Freshwater Air 2 Rods

The next generation of all-around freshwater fly rods (3wt-6wt). These rods can do anything – present tiny dry flies to wary trout on flat water, cast a heavy streamer to the far bank in the wind, launch the entire line when you need it, and make quick, accurate close-range shots. From high stick nymphing, pounding the banks from the boat, or wet wading, the new AIR 2 is a pack rod, a travel rod, a beautiful rod, and an all-around rod. It’s the new Winston. When you can only bring one rod…the amazing new Boron AIR 2. You won’t want to leave home without it. Now is the time.

Utilizing boron technology, AIR 2 rods make beautiful, accurate casts at long and short distances and have exceptional feel. The 3 and 4 weights are superb dry and light nymph rods, while the 5 and 6 weights are true all-arounders that can do everything from small dries to double nymphs to streamers.

3WT: Ideal dry fly and light nymph rods for small streams that require accurate, delicate presentations.

4WT: Delicate yet powerful, these 4 weights are perfect for small stream fishing and big water dry fly presentations to educated trout.

5WT: Unmatched versatility across any freshwater applications. Dry fly, nymph, streamer, or indicator – these 5 weights do it all.

6WT: The answer for windy day hoppers, cloudy day streamers, nymph droppers, and bigger water across the globe

Highlights:

  • EVOLVED TAPER DESIGN provides a faster, progressive all-around action. Extremely light, yet powerful.
  • NEXT GENERATION S-2000 HIGH MODULUS GRAPHITE material for faster recovery speed and smoothness.
  • ADVANCED BORON/GRAPHITE CONFIGURATION for enhanced power and energy transfer.
  • WINSTON-DESIGNED CIGAR GRIP for better “feel” through the casting stroke.
  • CUSTOM HSR (HIGH STRAIN RATE) RESIN yields an even faster recovery rate that adds a modern feel, is more durable, and provides greater part strength and less weight.
  • SMALLER PROFILE LIGHT WIRE SHOOTING SNAKE GUIDES feature new ECO slick coating and a Round Helix geometry that reduces line friction and produces added energy, accuracy, and distance management.
