Best Rod

PURE SERIES

Since 1929, Winston has been building very fine fly rods, and the Pure series continues the tradition. The 10 rods range from a seven-foot 2-weight up to a nine-foot 5-weight. Noted for being sweet to cast, the rods have a moderate, progressive action that makes them ideal for delicate trout presentations, such as dry flies and light nymphs. They’re also powerful enough to cast tight loops and punch out long lines.
