By far, this is the most powerful and fast Winston ever built. The design team set out to build a rod that simply does not back down whether it is long presentations in heavy wind, lifting stupid strong fish, and exceeding what you thought was possible with a fly rod. We are very excited to have a green stick that picks up line at long range and generates high line speeds instantaneously like nothing else before.
Flats Line Pairing - Look no further than the Scientific Angler Grand Slam Taper. It has the perfect amount of mass spread to load the rod up and have stability with typical flats style flies from crabs, to shrimp, to baitfish in flats situations.
All Purpose Streamer Line Pairing - For most streamer applications, from bass to big trout, we rely on the Rio Predator taper. When matching up with the Air 2 Max, we overline it one size and it fits perfectly. In a nutshell, for most of our personal applications, we use the 7 weight like and 8, and the 9 weight like a 10. The rod has tremendous stability even at long range with this taper and it loads easily and instantly making for optimum efficiency.
