*Recent winner of best fly rod at IFTD 2022!
Few rods have ever garnered immediate attention as the Air 2 9' 5 weight did when it reached the hands of anglers. Both beauty and power ooze from this rod. This all purpose trout and panfish rod has remarkable range in terms of tecnhniques and conditions. It has a fast action and stable butt section yet somehow loads easily and effortlessly. Dries, nymphs, and small streamers are all fitting. We like this rod paired with the Rio Perception taper. The taper matches up perfectly for maximum performance and versatility. That being said, the rod accomadates a variety of lines depending on your angling style and desired presentation.
Finished in classic Winston form, the detail work in the components is sensational and each rod features a hook keeper. Burled Elder reel seat with western pattern nickle silver trim. Priced accordlingy, this premium rod is likely to be a top notch stick a few generations from now.
Made in Twin Bridges, Montana.
Includes Winston rod sock, graphite rod tube, and lifetime warranty for original owner.
