NEW WINSTON FLY ROD ANNOUNCEMENT
INTRODUCING THE PURE 2 – The latest greatest light-line presentation fly rods
The R.L. Winston Rod Company, located in Twin Bridges, Montana, is excited to announce the PURE 2, our newest lightline,
dry fly, and technical presentation fly rods. These rods are available to purchase immediately, exclusively through
authorized Winston dealers worldwide.
The new PURE 2 series of fly rods (8 models in 2-weight through 5-weight) are made to excel in the world’s legendary
dry fly fisheries and in the most challenging technical trout applications. Utilizing new NanoParticle materials, these rods
are smooth, delicate and lively. In a broad range of dry-fly situations, from large tailwaters, technical spring creeks, and
small streams, these new light-line presentation rods flex evenly, recover quickly, and maintain an incredibly smooth
and balanced ‘Winston Feel.’
“The Pure 2 was designed with one goal in mind, dry fly fishing. From late night spring creek spinner falls to the
chaotic hatches of the Beaverhead and Big Hole rivers, the Pure 2 has seen it all and done it all. We built this series
from the ground up and formulated a beautiful moderate-fast taper, wrapped in high performance materials…a
playful front half for short delicate shots, and enough back bone to…drop a hopper on a dinner plate at 50 feet…”
– Hank Haen, head of Engineering and Design at Winston
DOUBLE-BONDED NANO-PARTICLE GRAPHITE
All 8 models in the PURE 2 rod series incorporate our new versatile double-bonded NanoParticle graphite technology.
This incredible material enhances both performance and presentation yet creates an unbelievably stable rod blank with
exceptional feel. Ultimately, NanoParticle technology complements the classic Winston action perfectly as it enhances
lightness, durability, and strength, while easily loading and presenting flies perfectly at typical trout fishing distances.
We’re excited to introduce these amazing new fly rods to provide anglers more enjoyment and success on the water.
