Customer Reviews
What an amazing fly rod. This rod is light in the hand, incredibly accurate, it’s not to fast and not to slow. It’s my go to rod for targeting snook and big bull reds
The AIR Salt is one of the finest rods I’ve ever used. Enough backbone to punch a fly through the wind on the Middle Texas coast, yet soft enough to make a gentle presentation to a hungry redfish. The AIR Salt 8wt is my go to boat rod and my clients are never disappointed.
It’s a cannon, throws big Game Changers and smaller Carp flies equally as well!!
The Air Salt 8 weight has a sublime feel that enhances accuracy at distance. It’s a confidence builder to have this rod in hand when you see a push of waking bonefish headed in your direction. I line it with SA Amplitude Grand Slam and Bonefish fly lines. It’s special. It’s unmistakably a Winston.
Just received the 11-weight Air Salt for an upcoming trip to Christmas Island. It’s a beautiful rod with a smooth progressive flex, boron power in the butt, yet also tip feel for loop control, something often hard to find in the 12-weights — hence my choice of the 11. Can’t wait to test it agains the GTs!
