Fast action super fast

Just returned this evening from the Missouri out of Craig Montana, fishing was fabulous, Air 2 Max 9’/6wt. Was like a point and shoot exercise. We fished to heads for several hours each day. Ideal and windy conditions, the rod is exceptionally fast and yet has the Winston “touch” us Winston dedicated users have become accustomed to. It is everything I had hope for and more. If You truly need a real fly fishing rod with fast action, this is the answer. It is no broom handle with guides, this rod is a work of art.

Cast all day

I casted 9’ 9 wt rod once and ended up buy 3 different weight classes. I was able to cast my 11 wt all day with high winds and never had to take a break. My 7 wt slings my streamers with ease and my 9 wt put in 7 days of flats fishing like it knew it was at home. Would recommend this rod over and over.

Winston Love to the Max

Winston owners know what love is. It's that special feel you get when casting a fine Winston rod. While most anglers choose Winston rods for trout fishing, some venture into salty waters and want that same feel, with power to deliver in harsh conditions. The Air 2 Max weaves together power, performance, and that Winston smoothness into a rod that feels like an old friend right out of the tube.

Air 2 Max in 10 and 11

These have yet to see water but they are heading to Belize shortly in pursuit of large, migratory tarpon. In the meantime they are getting daily workouts on the lawn. This rod is an absolute cannon, I enjoy casting for it's own sake and even in these bigger sizes, the rod is fun--a blast to cast. As fast as the action is, it loads easily, even at shorter (30-40') ranges. Fit and finish are typical Winston perfection. I will add to this review after a thorough "wet" field test.

9’ 7 wt Air 2 Max

This is the best casting rod in this weight class I’ve ever used. It does it all, fresh & salt water. If you need an upgrade in this category, this rod is it.
