MICROSPEY AIR 2 — 10’9” 2WT.
The 2wt is our shortest model that is a sweet Scandi caster yet is more than capable of launching heavier Skagit heads and sinking tips. This this is a perfect small-river rod, or a bigger river stick when skating caddis, or presenting soft hackles. We like a 210 grain Skagit or a 180 grain Scandi. Add 8-10’ sinking or poly leaders that ring in the 80-grain range.
MICROSPEY AIR 2 — 11’ 3WT.
The do-it-all member of the family. From flashy sculpins on the Missouri, to swinging tandem soft hackles of the West Branch of the Delaware, this 3wt is up for the task. Capable of both long and short casts, it also pairs well as a great indicator rod for stillwater applications. Line it with a 240 grain Skagit, or a 210 grain Scandi with 10’ of T-10 for sink tips.
MICROSPEY AIR 2 — 11’3” 4WT.
Built with extra-power for bigger casts and flies, the 11’3” 4wt is the perfect choice for big water fishing. This powerful rod is ready for aggressive Skagit heads yet will handle longer lines utilizing touch-and-go techniques for ultra- smooth performance. A 300 grain Skagit or 275 Scandi, paired with 10’-12’ tips, are a sweet match for this amazing rod.
Features
Tighter grain windows. Each Microspey AIR 2 model aligns perfectly with industry-leading trout-specific two-hand lines in Skagit, Scandi, and Traditional styles.
A new spey grip – designed specifically for trout. The newly designed, ultra-thin diameter grip provides instant feedback resulting in fewer blown anchors, and an ultra-light feel, that feels more “trout” than “spey.” The bottom grip is now longer, yet slimmer than the full-size versions, and provides anglers infinite ways to grip and control spey casts.
A beautifully figured maple reel seat with downlocking nickel silver componentry. The Microspey AIR 2 features a stunning burled maple reel seat, produced exclusively for Winston’s timeless aesthetics. The hardware includes double downlocking nickel silver rings and componentry, for a classic look that is synonymous with Winston.

Microspey AIR 2
This is a game changer for fishing medium to large rivers , with the ability to cover large sections of river without having the soreness due to the heavy or single hand rods. I can’t imagine how much fun this is going to be when I hook into a fish that will take this rod to its limits. Thank you Winston for building this great rod.
Turns over decent tips with a skagit with ease. Could probably take heavier than a 300 grain too. Over all it’s the most soulful trout spey out there.
What a rod, virtually casts itself – The rod has amazing scope to fish many species, both fresh and saltwater – Lake trout 3 to 6lb – salt water, Kingfish, small Tuna, flathead etc – extremely versatile rod. The Microspey Air 2 ticks all the boxes . . I’m certainly proud to have been appointed a Winston pro.
Cheers,

I couldn’t be more impressed with the performance of the Microspey Air 2. This rod practically casts itself. Like all Winston rods, when properly loaded, it delivers effortless tight loops and smooth, consistent turnover, regardless of distance. I was blown away by its ability to handle a full range of MOW tips, from varying lengths to different sink rates, with ease. If you’re in the market for a trout Spey rod, look no further. This one delivers, and I promise you won’t be disappointed!
Not sure why I didn’t get this sooner. This rod easily casts much farther than you need for trout. Incredibly smooth stroke and almost no effort.
