RL Winston Fly Rods

We have a simple goal at Winston: perfection. Everyone who works here takes an extraordinary amount of pride in the rods they make. Pride in the performance and design of the rods, pride in the aesthetics of the rods, pride in the very heritage of the company itself. Winston owners are no different. They care deeply about fly fishing and truly appreciate quality. Our rods are made not just to meet the expectations of these anglers, but to surpass them. Winstons cast beautifully, fish wonderfully, and the craftsmanship and attention to detail are unmatched. A Winston is not just a fly rod. It is a commitment to doing something the right way. Without compromise. Some of the most innovative rods in recent years can be attributed to Winston. Our LT 5-piece trout rods, for example, revolutionized multiple ferrule designs. The Joan Wulff Favorite was created specifically to meet the needs of women anglers. We led the industry in the use of boron/graphite composite with our BL5 rods, introduced in 1998. In 2004, we introduced the Boron IIx series — a huge advancement in fast-action rods that feature our second-generation boron/graphite composite. Overall, we believe the true measure of a rod is not the ultimate distance it can cast, but how well it performs at the range of distances it was intended to cast. And most important, how well it "fishes." Every rod we make reflects this belief. Our Boron IIx rods are the first and only rods with not only the power to cast 100 feet of line, but also the finesse to make delicate presentations at 15 to 60 feet, where the vast majority of trout fishing occurs. Introduced in 2007, the Boron IIt series proved that advanced boron technology could be used to create exceptional medium-action rods. New this year, the Boron II-MX is the third rod series developed by Winston featuring our unique Boron II technology. Though extremely powerful, the fast-action Boron II-MX is amazingly lightweight and responsive. Yes, there may be easier ways of making our fly rods, but that is not the Winston way. We have no interest in building anything but the best.
