Winston Air 2 596-4 - ROD1167

The Winston Air 2 9'6" 5-weight is a versatile powerhouse designed for anglers who need superior line control on larger waters. This rod excels in scenarios requiring complex mends and long drifts, making it an exceptional choice for nymphing deep runs or presenting dry flies on big western rivers. The extra length provides the leverage needed to manage line on the water, while the action offers a blend of power and finesse that allows for quick hook sets and effective tippet protection.

Handcrafted in Twin Bridges, Montana, this model features Winston's proprietary Boron III technology combined with S-2000 high-modulus graphite. This advanced material configuration significantly reduces swing weight and increases recovery speed, resulting in a rod that feels lively and responsive. Finished with the classic Winston Green blank, a nickel silver reel seat, and a premium cork handle, it delivers the high-performance characteristics modern anglers demand without sacrificing the soulful feel the brand is known for.
