Montana Handcrafted Tradition. Surgical Small-Stream Touch & Light-Tippet Protection.

The Winston Pure 2 6'9" 3-weight is purpose-built for intimate creek scenarios, overgrown bank canopies, and technical small-water trout. Handcrafted in Twin Bridges, Montana, this ultra-light rod combines Winston's iconic green blank with modern composite material advancements to yield a smooth-loading, moderate action. At 6'9" in length, it provides instantaneous loading at ultra-short distances, turning over dry flies with featherlight touch while cushioning micro tippets.

Why You Need This Rod

Standard 9-foot rods are cumbersome and prone to snagging when navigating tight mountain creeks or casting beneath low-hanging branches. The Pure 2 6'9" 3wt solves this by giving you maximum clearance and immediate casting feedback on short 10-to-30-foot shots. Its deep, progressive flex profile loads with very little line past the rod tip, making it an lethal tool for native brookies, wild cutthroats, and skittish creek trout where delicate presentation is mandatory.

Condition Note

This rod is in Excellent Condition. It has been meticulously cared for and displays virtually no signs of field use. The cork grip is firm and clean, while the signature Winston green blank finish is entirely free of scuffs, scratches, or nicks. The nickel silver reel seat with premium wood insert operates smoothly, and the guide train is in perfect structural alignment. It has been fully cleaned, technically inspected, and is 100% structurally sound. Includes the original Winston graphite rod tube and embroidered cloth sock.
