Product information "Winston Air Salt Single Handed Fly Rod"

Saltwater fly fishing can be very challenging – not only for us, but also for our tackle. Salty water, harsh coastal weather and extremely powerful and large fish require 100% reliable equipment. Therefore, a proper saltwater fly rod should be highly durable and offer superb casting properties with quick recovery to form tight loops enabling a precise presentation, even in stormy conditions. With these requirements in mind, the Winston rod designers developed their new top of the line saltwater fly rod: the Air Salt!

First of all, this rod offers an incomparable action, which is based on Winston’s SuperSilica lightweight resin technology and the highly approved Boron III material with a modern, progressive taper. This creates the incomparable and distinctive Winston performance that is highly appreciated worldwide. Further, these rods are perfectly balanced and their fast recovery rate enables incredible line speed and superb presentation at every casting distance. Summarized, it’s hardly surprising that this design masterpiece won the “EFTTEX 2018 Best New Product Award“!

The combination of an outstanding blank with premium components creates a matchless performance, which will easily please the most ambitious fly fishermen. Winston describes this rod as „smooth and powerful“ – a perfect description that shows that this isn’t an insensitive saltwater “stick” but a true workhorse with a lot of “feel”. Without a doubt, the extremely reliable Winston Saltwater Air is one of the best saltwater fly rods on the entire market – whether for sea trout at the Baltic coast, bonefish on the flats or tarpon from the boat!
