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.

Customer Reviews
When I received my 7-1/2 3wt Pure, I was very impressed with the build quality. I've built a number of nice flyrods- none as nice as this one. Looking forward to fishing some small mountain creeks this Spring!
For small to medium sized moving water, this is my go to rod. I throw small dires to hopper dropper rigs with ease, and accuracy. This rod is a great roll caster, and it can toss longer leaders when asked. The rod has soul..
The Winston 8' 4 weight Pure matched with the Winston Energy Line is a perfect combination. Everything you could want in a 4 weight is here. Accurate gentle presentations, the ability to turn over long leaders and light tippet protection. While short distance casts are done with ease there is no problem in picking up your line and immediately going out to 50 or 60 feet. A big trout? No problem here. There is still plenty of backbone to handle larger fish with ease.
An absolutely spectacular rod. There are not a lot of rods that I can cast either right or left-handed, but I can grab this rod and cast either way - it will cast for anybody. If you're looking to fill your quiver with your all-around go-to trout rod that can either cast a tiny Adams or a fairly large streamer, the 9' 5wt PURE should be in the conversation.
The 9' 5wt Pure was the trickiest rods to get dialed in for fly lines. It wasn't that the rod was lack luster or cast funny, it was the fact that rod was surprisingly good at the short game and finesse while still having the guts to put some muscle and speed into it for distance. After trying five different fly lines on it we ultimately settled for the Scientific Anglers Trout Taper, a perfect solution for being able to throw short and long shots. A fun 5wt rod for those that aren't into the more common fast action fly rods and want a rod that performs well at "trout distance".
