Winston BII-MX
Introducing
the fresh and saltwater Winston Boron II-MX (BII MX) series of rods from R. L. Winston. MX stands for maximum, as in maximum power, distance and fish fighting
capabilities. The 5 and 6 weights are slightly stiffer and faster than
their Boron IIx counterparts. The 7 through 12 weights are true "guns"
that can handle sinking lines, big flies and adverse wind conditions. All
seven models of the Winston Boron II-MX feature faster actions and are all
capable of making long distance (100+ foot) casts, they will amaze you with
their responsiveness and light weight. The rods come with a cork fighting
butt and Winston's new double locking reel seat. Whether you're chucking a
6" long grocery fly or battling fly rod humbling winds, a Boron II-MX will get
the job done.
The 5 and 6 weight rods can be ordered with either the Cigar handle or the Full-Wells with cork fighting butt. The 7 thru 10 weight rods feature the Full-Wells grip with cork fighting butt. The 12 weight features a 12" grip and 2 1/2" cork fighting butt. The reel seat on all rods is feather light nickel anodized aluminum.

Winston BIIX

The Winston Boron IIx series of rods have redefined the fast action category of rods. These rods are responsive, powerful, highly accurate and can perform across a wide casting range. The rods load easily for gentle presentations up close; yet when you need the distance, the Boron BIIx can make long, pinpoint casts up to 100 feet. In addition, the Boron BIIx is the lightest in the industry. These factors make for a very pleasant, all day casting experience.
Handle: Cigar on 8'6" 3-wt thru 9' 5 and 6 wt. Full wells with cork fighting butt on the 9'6" 5 and 6 wt rods and 9' 7wt through 9' 12wt rods. Half Wells special with cork fighting butt on the JWF. The 11' 7wt features 10' grip and 4 1/2" cork fighting butt. The 9' 12 wt rod features a 12" grip and 2 1/2" cork fighting butt.
Reel Seat: Black anodized aluminum uplocking with green graphite spacer. We stock all our BIIx rods with the green graphite reel seat but are glad to special order the Burled Wood insert with Nickel silver uplocking reel seat for you. Just be sure and let us know.

Winston BIIx Double Handed Rods
The Winston Boron IIx doublehanded rods are designed to meet the special requirements of steelhead and salmon anglers. This series can cover lots of water, make precise mends, and cast considerable distances. The Boron IIx rods were designed with the help of Andre Scholz, Winston's technical advisor and one of the leading spey casters in the world.
The rod is made with Winston's second generation boron/graphite composite which makes for an incredibly lightweight spey rod exhibiting extraordinary power, responsiveness and accuracy. The Winston Boron IIx Doublehanded Spey rod is a pleasure to cast and a favorite of our resident guide, Rich Youngers. It's a perfect choice for the northwest style of skagit casting.

WT Trout Rod 3 piece rods - $615.00

The vast majority of trout fishing involves casts of less than 60 feet, usually much shorter distances. When you're working a fish close in, success often depends on your ability to make gentle, delicate, and accurate casts. For this reason, the Winston WT rod is the perfect choice for smaller waters.
With progressive tapers, the WT works nicely at close range yet can make longer casts when needed. These medium fast action graphite rods are incredible smooth, offer that wonderful Winston touch and feel with tips soft enough to protect 6x and 7x tippets while playing larger trout.
There's a reason the Winston WT has been a favorite of trout fisher's worldwide!!

WINSTON BAMBOO RODS
Bamboo rods
Hand craftsmanship, an incredible attention to detail, and a wonderful slow
action that provides superb line and loop control. These are just a few of the
qualities of a Winston bamboo fly rod. For 75 years, our name has been
synonymous with fine bamboo. To us, bamboo represents not only the heritage of
the sport, but a commitment to making rods from a proven natural material.
Creating a bamboo rod is a cumulative process. Years of design refinements,
testing, study, plus knowledge that has been passed down from rod builder to rod
builder go into every one. Pick up a Winston bamboo, and you will be holding
something extraordinary. Fish one, and you will be amazed at the smoothness and
delicacy.
