Winston Air Salt 990-4 - ROD1376

Punching heavy flies through harsh onshore winds and stopping hard-charging predators requires raw driving power combined with immediate line control. The Winston Air Salt 990-4 9-weight, 9' rod delivers exceptional line speed, high-impact lifting leverage, and smooth casting energy for demanding saltwater and big-game freshwater environments. Built for targeting permit on windblown flats, redfish in shallow marsh channels, and aggressive striped bass in heavy coastal tides, this rod handles bulky patterns and sink-tip lines with authority. Its fast action profile generates tight loops to cut through gusty breezes while maintaining enough tip sensitivity to track line movement accurately.

Handcrafted in Twin Bridges, Montana, this rod incorporates Winston Boron technology alongside high-modulus carbon fiber and a proprietary Super-Silky resin matrix. By reinforcing the lower section of the blank with high-strength boron fibers, Winston produces incredible lifting power and torsional stability without adding unnecessary weight. This construction gives you the backbone needed to haul long casts and control powerful fish during deep runs. Saltwater-ready components include a durable anodized aluminum reel seat with double locking rings, a full wells cork grip with a fighting butt, and corrosion-resistant guides built to endure harsh marine environments.
