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 Winston make reflects this belief. Their Boron IIIx rods have the ability to not only power out 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. Everyone who works at Winston 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. A Winston is not just a fly rod, It's a commitment to doing something the right way. Without compromise.
