Our rods are made with passion, pride and the highest level of craftsmanship. And, regardless of price or material, has been designed to be the best of its kind. Ask any Winston owner. A Winston customer is a customer for life.

In recent years, Winston's pioneering use of boron/graphite composite has resulted in revolutionary advances in fly rod design. Boron is five times as strong and twice as stiff as steel,yet lighter than aluminum; the combination lets us add 25% more strength to graphite while significantly reducing weight. Our popular Boron IIIx series is incredible in terms of action, smoothness, line speed, power and casting range. Boron IIt rods prove that advanced boron technology can be used to create exceptional fly rods that feature a medium-fast action. And our time-proven Boron IIx and Boron II-MX Two-Handed/Spey rods are widely regarded as the lightest and highest performing two-handed rods made. New for 2013, we are excited to introduce the new Boron III-SX. Using next generation Boron III material, these new rods are more responsive, provide a much more powerful action, and are designed to truly handle the most demanding and extreme freshwater and saltwater fishing situations. One of the major leaps in technology is their ability to cast comfortably at a range of distances despite their extraordinary power. Power and feel….together at last!

In fact, our reputation is built on it. We don't design rods with the sole purpose of casting long distances. Rather, we create rods that are a true marriage of beauty and performance and perform perfectly across the range of distances that you need to catch fish. They cast beautifully, incorporating smoothness, lifting strength and the ability to accommodate a variety of lines. Our philosophy is to make rods that "fish" as well as they cast, and it holds true for every rod we make.

Winston is a company that truly reflects the history and heritage of the sport of fly fishing. We are also a company that, especially and most recently using Boron III and II, has been responsible for many of the most groundbreaking advances in fly rod design since its founding in 1929. From Lew Stoner's hollow-fluted bamboo to Doug Merrick's early use of fiberglass, to our pioneering work with IM6 graphite, to our newest and fastest action rods, the powerful Boron III-SX, Winston has a long tradition of making groundbreaking design advances to maximize your fishing success and enjoyment. And we have no plans to stop.

and take an uncompromised approach to creating the finest fly rods in the world. Everyone who works here takes an extraordinary amount of pride in the rods they make. Pride in the performance and design of the rods, pride in the aesthetics of the rods, pride in the very heritage of the company itself. Yes, there may be easier ways of making our fly rods, but that is not the Winston way. We have no interest in building anything but the best.
