Dry fly and delicate presentation rods
The PURE series (2-5wt) won IFTD’s Best of Show for freshwater rods in 2018, and for good reason: The ability of these medium-action rods to present flies in a delicate and accurate manner is unmatched, making them perfect for technical waters like the Henry’s Fork, spring creeks and backcountry beaver ponds filled with wary brookies. The 2 and 3wts are perfect for small streams, while the 4 and 5wts are ideal for larger rivers and fish that still require a light touch. All rods come with our graphite tube and logo rod sock.

I've been a Winston fan since before I could afford them. I grew up in Dillon, a short distance from Twin. I marveled at the emerald green wands I knew were out of reach for me as a kid in the 80's. Fast forward into the 90's and I bought my first Winston that I still own today and fish. The Pure series brings me back to the classic Winston feel, they're not a WT or an LT, but they fit in there somewhere. I paired them with Bauer RX reels, which are very well balanced for the Pure and Air series. The 9' 4wt is a stunner as is the 9' ft 5wt. Enough power when I need it, but more important to me is the ability to make light precise presentations on crystal clear Driftlesss streams. I routinely fish 6x tippet, and the tips are forgiving enough to protect it when I set up on larger fish.
Still chasing Tarpon, let you know this Summer! Casted it and feels great 👍. Can't wait to throw caddis on the small streams!!
