There's a reason anglers get sentimental about Winston rods. The Air 2 carries that legendary smooth, connected Winston feel into a faster, lighter blank — enough power for wind and distance, with the buttery loading you can feel deep into the cork. For dry-fly days on the Middle Provo when presentation is everything, this rod is about as good as graphite gets.

Why we like it

• Fast action with classic Winston smoothness — power that never feels harsh
• Figured Box Elder reel seat with uplocking nickel silver hardware — genuinely beautiful
• Light-wire, hard chrome ECO slick-coated shooting guides
• 6.5″ cigar grip, 4-piece, premium graphite tube and logo sock
• Designed and handcrafted in Twin Bridges, Montana, USA

A rod like this deserves a test cast. Order online with free in-store pickup, or come wiggle it next to the Helios and NRX+ in our rack — we'll rig all three and let your casting stroke decide.
