Winston Bamboo Fly Rods
SKU: NFD9436

BAMBOO
One of the great experiences in fly fishing
The use of bamboo dates to our founding in 1929, when Robert Winther and Lew Stoner began innovating with the material, and eventually patented the hollow-fluting process we still use today. The craftsmanship is legendary. The performance is something every angler should experience. Bamboo is part of Winston’s DNA. Please call us or your nearest dealer for current availability and timeframes. All bamboo rods come with a powder coated aluminum tube and logo rod sock.

Winston Microspey Air 2 Fly Rods
SKU: NFD9434

Lightweight Precision. Effortless Presentation. Two-handed Trout Performance.
Introducing the new Microspey AIR 2, utilizing our new, high-performance AIR 2 boron/graphite materials to provide anglers an unbelievably lightweight and responsive action that allows for ultimate presentation and faster line speeds to out-perform cast after cast. With an overall lighter weight, faster recovery, smoother connection, and sweeter feel, the Microspey Air 2 provides extraordinary feedback through the cast and swing. This small series of trout-centric spey rods provides incredible performance when adding movement to swung flies, increased line control, and unrivaled feel when fighting trout-sized fish. All rods include a logo rod sock and a graphite rod tube. Made in Twin Bridges, Montana.

ACTION: Medium-Fast. Winston feel with faster blank recovery for better control in wind and at distance.

MATERIAL: Boron III Technology in the grip-section, with AIR 2 S-2000 Graphite throughout all sections.

GRIP: : Newly designed special Microspey 11″ thin diameter fore-grip, with longer 4” bottom grip.

GUIDES: TiCH finished stripper guide with nano plasma ring. Special chrome snake guides. Oversize tip-top.

SECTIONS: 4

STORAGE: Premium Graphite Tube and Logo Rod Sock.

MANUFACTURED: Designed and Handcrafted in Twin Bridges, Montana, USA.

MICROSPEY AIR 2 — 10’9” 2WT.
The 2wt is our shortest model that is a sweet Scandi caster yet is more than capable of launching heavier Skagit heads and sinking tips. This this is a perfect small-river rod, or a bigger river stick when skating caddis, or presenting soft hackles. We like a 210 grain Skagit or a 180 grain Scandi. Add 8-10’ sinking or poly leaders that ring in the 80-grain range.

MICROSPEY AIR 2 — 11’ 3WT.
The do-it-all member of the family. From flashy sculpins on the Missouri, to swinging tandem soft hackles of the West Branch of the Delaware, this 3wt is up for the task. Capable of both long and short casts, it also pairs well as a great indicator rod for stillwater applications. Line it with a 240 grain Skagit, or a 210 grain Scandi with 10’ of T-10 for sink tips.

MICROSPEY AIR 2 — 11’3” 4WT.
Built with extra-power for bigger casts and flies, the 11’3” 4wt is the perfect choice for big water fishing. This powerful rod is ready for aggressive Skagit heads yet will handle longer lines utilizing touch-and-go techniques for ultra- smooth performance. A 300 grain Skagit or 275 Scandi, paired with 10’-12’ tips, are a sweet match for this amazing rod.
