We are very excited to announce that the new Winston AIR TH has won the Best New Fly Rod at the 2019 European Fishing Tackle Trade Exhibition.
Our new Winston AIR TH rods redefine two-hand casting performance. Utilizing our SuperSilica resin system and Boron technology, these rods are unbelievably light, perfectly balanced, powerful, responsive, and just plain fun to fish.
Featuring a deep loading action with fast recovery rates, AIR TH models are ideal for any steelhead and salmon fishing application. They showcase adaptive and specified grain windows that are ideal for specific two-hand applications. In addition to the dialed grain windows, AIR TH models utilize smaller diameter grips to give anglers more feel and intuition during the cast.

Hello,
I’am interested in Air TH 12′ 5wt as trout spey rod ( I have Winston MS 11’6″ 5 wt and I’m looking for something a little bit “heavier”).
When blanks will be available , may be earlier than completed rods ?
With Regards
Piotr Majewski
Hi Piotr, thanks for your interest in the new 12′ 5 weight Air TH!
Actually, blanks will be available after production rods, looking like November.
Your email says up-locking reel seat, blog says down-locking. Any help? Is upper grip measurement the same for all rods regardless of rod length? Thanks
Hey Michael. There is a typo in the email. The reel seat is downlocking on the new Air TH. Grip measurements change through out the series: 12′ 5 weight: 10″ Grip, 11’6″ 6 weight 11″ grip, 12’6″ and greater 13″ grip. Hope this helps.
It would be sweet for the switch rod sizes to come in 7 and 8 weight.
What dealers will be carrying your blanks? Can they be ordered directly from Winston?
Hi Robert, thanks for checking in! You can order blanks from any authorized dealer. New AIR TH blanks retail at $625.
