Sold – Winston Air 2 Max Fly Rod - ROD1306

The Winston Air 2 Max 868-4 is engineered for high line speeds and power in demanding environments, from windy redfish flats to heavy freshwater streamer runs. Built in a compact 8'6" length, this 8-weighgt significantly reduces swing weight compared to standard 9' models, enabling faster target acquisition and effortless casting inside 60 feet. Its fast action taper delivers rapid recovery, tight loop control, and punchy turnover power when driving bulky flies through stiff winds.

Handcrafted in Twin Bridges, Montana, this rod pairs Winston AIR 2 technology with advanced Boron construction to deliver a high strength-to-weight ratio and impressive lifting power. The componentry includes flexible Cerecoil titanium stripping guides with ceramic inserts for slick line shooting, along with Recoil titanium saltwater snake guides. A silver anodized aluminum reel seat with double uplocking rings and a full wells grip with a fighting butt ensure long-term durability in harsh salt and freshwater environments.
