Winston Air 2 486-4 - ROD1345

The Winston Air 2 486-4 delivers remarkable precision and control when trout on technical water demand delicate presentations. Designed for dry fly accuracy and light nymphing setups on spring creeks, tailwaters, and small freestone rivers, this 8'6" 4-weight fly rod balances fast action power with a subtle, responsive tip. Anglers gain tight loop control, smooth energy transfer, and maximum tippet protection on long, fine leaders without sacrificing feel or finesse.

Handcrafted in Twin Bridges, Montana, this rod incorporates Winston's Boron III technology and NanoParticle resin system to achieve high tensile strength, rapid tip recovery, and exceptionally low swing weight. Premium componentry features ECO slick-coated chrome guides to minimize line friction, a 6.5" cigar-style cork grip, and a figured Box Elder wood reel seat with nickel silver hardware. Weighing roughly 3 oz, every detail combines traditional rod-building heritage with modern performance for seamless casting across all distances.

This preowned fly rod arrives in Like New condition from a private collection, complete with its original graphite rod tube and logo rod sock. Every item offered by Recast Fly Fishing undergoes thorough inspection, allowing you to add an elite American-made setup to your quiver at an exceptional value.
