PURE
$975.00
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.

Best spring creek rod made
Bought this to be my high end 5wt. And it is perfect. Really great on relieving the load when fighting fish.
Having a 5 weight that loads well at close range and has the ability to stretch in large flat water can be hard to find. The 905 pure gives me and my customers a world of versatility when it comes to fishing the Au Sable River in Grayling, MI. It is a staple in my quiver in May and June. Possibly the best brown drakin' stick in Winston's lineup for the 5 weight aficionado, as it just kicks butt on those short range night time casts.
I use the Pure for hunting big trout with light tippet. Watching trout slurp tricos is a sight to see! Long cast with a long leader dropping the fly a foot in front of their nose is easy with the Pure. Power when I need it and a soft tip to protect a light tippet with a small fly. It’s everything I was looking for in a fly rod!
7’6” 3wt. Is an amazing small to medium water rod. If having the ability to turn over longer leaders for even more delicate presentations with micro dries is important then you’ve found the rod. The pure is performance and touch all in one bad **** package.
