Winston BL5 rods are lightweight, fast action 5-piece rods ideal for Permit and Tarpon.

They are both made with axial boron fibers in the butt section,
which create rods that can generate high line speeds without stiff tips.
They can make long, accurate, effortless casts into the wind with a minimum
of false casting, yet also load easily for short, delicate casts up close.

The new fast-action Winston Boron IIx rods feature
Winston’s second-generation boron/graphite composite blanks.

This means a powerful, responsive and very accurate range of rods that can cast long distance
as well as a delicate presentation of your fly at close range.

The titanium line guides and ultra light reel seat makes these elegant hand-made rods
some of the lightest top-class rods on the market today.

Designed for extreme conditions, the Winston Boron XTR series features stiff butts and tips
and is made with exceptionally strong boron/graphite composite.

The result is very fast action, very powerful rods that can generate extremely high line speeds.
Hardcore saltwater rods created specially to handle lots of wind, big flies, shooting heads
and sinking lines. Boron XTR rods can make very long casts with a minimum of false casting,
giving you the ability to quickly get your fly in the action zone.

Just as there is nothing subtle about a 450-grain line or a 4/0 hook,
there is nothing subtle about these rods. Winston Boron XTR are made to get the job done.

Introduced last year, Winston IBIS rods offer outstanding performance
and quality for a very reasonable price.

Designed for the more budget-conscious angler, these fast-action rods
are remarkable easy to cast and have features you will not find in other lower cost rods,
such as the overall finish and titanium anodized reel seat with Cocobola wood insert.

One of the world’s finest fly casters, Joan Wulff, joined R. L. Winston Rod Company in 1996,
and has since then helped with the design of rods for women anglers.

Her two favourite fly rods, the 5-weight WT and the 8-weight Boron IIx,
are now therefore also available with a specially designed women’s grip
with a thumb groove for proper hand position.
