Tom Morgan Favorite
$995.00
As great today as it was when first offered
Tom Morgan was the owner and rod designer at Winston from 1973 to 1991. Tom grew up fishing the spring creeks of Montana for wary brown trout, where delicate casts and perfect presentations were mandatory. In 1989, he designed a 4-weight for those exact conditions and named it the “Tom Morgan Favorite.” Over 30 years later, we still offer this exceptional rod, as it reflects Tom’s belief that “a great fly rod is always a great fly rod.” TMF rods come with a powder coated aluminum tube and logo rod sock.

Finished building one 3 weeks ago. All I can say is it’s a great rod. I fish streams from 6’ to 60’ wide. Bangs out 30-40-50’ casts no issues. Will handle a fly from size 22 up to a size 10 wooly bugger with moderate weight. I use a Orvis Superfine WF on mine but it will handle a standard WF 4 wt. today I caught a big rainbow 21” very powerful fish, the rod was bending into the cork. The rod handled very well. Up next I’m building Pure 7 1/2’ 3wt. I’m sure it will fish as well as the TMF. Can’t wait until I hit the water for gills.
This is the rod I use when I want to go catching. Which is just slightly more fun than fishing. Which we all love.
It is an icon of the story of Winston and Tom, which is reflected in each incident where Winston's purity is felt. The passing of the years continues to make this rod a benchmark for dry fly fishing
Excellent 4wt fly rod. Perfect for throwing dry flies on smaller streams, or smaller lakers. A little slower action than the Pure, but has superb feel at reasonable distances (15-30 feet is the real sweet spot).
Definitely a fun little stick. 10/10, would recommend!
The WT action, I believe is the finest casting rod that Winston has made. I have two five weight WT‘s, one six weight, and now I am the proud owner of the Tom Morgan favorite four weight WT. Coupled with a double taper light line four weight this rod performs exactly as it was designed to do. Presentation of a small dry fly with the ability to tie on a hopper dropper, If you have to, make this rod a joy to fish with in many different conditions. Thank you Tom Morgan.
