Winston Air 380-4 - ROD1165

This fly rod is the definition of finesse, designed specifically for the angler who frequents small streams and spring creeks where delicacy matters more than distance. The 8-foot length offers a perfect compromise, providing enough reach for mending line on technical water while remaining compact enough for tight casts under overhanging branches. With its smooth, medium-fast action, this rod excels at presenting dry flies and light nymphs with whisper-quiet accuracy, protecting light tippets against sudden strikes from wary trout.

Built in Twin Bridges, Montana, the Air series represents a significant leap in rod building technology. It combines Winston's proprietary Boron III graphite with a SuperSilica resin system, resulting in a blank that is incredibly lightweight and responsive without sacrificing the classic "Winston feel." This construction allows for a progressive flex that loads easily at short distances but retains the backbone needed to turn over longer leaders in a breeze. The craftsmanship is equally impressive, featuring the signature deep green finish, a nickel silver reel seat, and a burled wood insert that looks as good as it casts.

This specific rod is in Like New condition, featuring a pristine cork grip and a flawless blank that shows no signs of previous use. At Recast Fly Fishing, we have carefully inspected this rod to ensure it meets our strict performance standards, offering you a rare opportunity to own a premium Winston at a significant value. You get the performance of a showroom-quality rod without the premium price tag.

Add this exceptional piece of craftsmanship to your quiver and experience the difference of a truly premium presentation rod.
