Product Description

Winston Air 2 Fly Rod – Unmatched Feel, Precision, and Versatility

The Winston Air 2 Fly Rod is the pinnacle of performance for 3–6 weight applications. Built with advanced Boron technology, this flagship series offers incredible line feel, responsiveness, and accuracy across all distances. The 3wt and 4wt models shine for delicate dry fly and light nymph presentations, while the 5wt and 6wt serve as true all-purpose workhorses—equally at home casting small dries, double nymph rigs, or streamers. Exceptionally smooth with a perfect balance of power and finesse, the Winston Air 2 has earned its reputation among discerning anglers, guides, and fly shops alike.
