Product information "Winston Freshwater Air Single-Handed Fly Rod"

The 4-piece AIR one-handed rods are another brilliant step on the path that Winston has been taking for almost 90 years. The goal of the product development was to provide the classic and progressive action, for which Winston rods are known worldwide, with even more ease, liveliness, and responsiveness. Designed with a new and revolutionary material that combines Winston's exclusive SuperSilica resin system with the unique Boron III technology, they have succeeded in this ambitious project!

 

All models from the Winston AIR Series impress with their low physical weight and at the same time very low 'swing weight' on the first cast. You will immediately notice that these rods were lovingly handcrafted for fishing and not just for casting on the lawn. The AIR’s sensitive rod blank loads optimally, even on short casts, and it does not take a miracle to generate a high return speed and gentle flow of energy into the line. Across all casting distances, you receive complete and immediate feedback from the blanks, ultimately resulting in a sensitive and pinpoint accurate presentation. 

 

Winston is proud to say that AIR has made a noticeable step forward and that they have once again set themselves apart from other manufacturers in the premium class. This is not only due to the outstanding casting performance but also to the first-class workmanship and high-end components: Each model has a shapely cigar handle with top-quality cork. The nickel silver uplocking reel seat and a burl wood spacer are a perfect match for the sleek finish of Winston’s green blank. Chrome-plated nano lite stripping guides and hard-chrome oversized snake rings allow your line to shoot unimpeded with minimal friction - should you need to make long casts. Winston calls them 'Shooting Guides' for good reason! Each AIR rod is delivered in a handmade fabric bag and a high-quality graphite rod tube.

 

We are happy to be able to take this step, the 'Winston Way' and look forward to many hours on the water with these finely crafted rods.
