Winston Boron AIR 2 Freshwater Fly Rods - Lighter than AIR!
Meet the next generation of all-around freshwater fly rods (3wt-6wt.) These rods can do anything - present tiny dry flies to wary trout on flat water, cast a heavy streamer to the far bank in the wind, launch the entire line when you need it, and make quick, accurate close-range shots. From high stick nymphing, pounding the banks from the boat, or wet wading, the new AIR 2 is a pack rod, a travel rod, a beautiful rod, and an all-around rod. It’s the new Winston. When you can only bring one rod...trust the versatile Boron AIR 2.
New Design - For a new faster, progressive all-around action. All around rods need a broad casting range to cover a range of situations. These new Boron AIR 2 freshwater rods generate higher line speed; have a faster recovery rate; and a new, modern quick and smooth action without sacrificing feel and enjoyment. For those days when you can only have one rod, this is the only one required to do the job.
The Winston AIR 2 is a four-piece, fast-action freshwater fly rod. The 3- and 4-weight models suit dry flies and light nymph rigs; the 5- and 6-weight models cover dry flies, nymph rigs, and streamers. Available configurations also include 7- and 8-weight rods at 9 feet 6 inches.
