Description
Incorporating our groundbreaking NanoParticle technology, we are excited to announce the new AIR 2 REACH rods. these new longer fly rods deliver lightweight, responsive feel as part of our award-winning AIR 2 series. These rods expand performance across trout applications that demand a little extra length for technical nymphing, long drift presentations, and lifting more line.
The 10’ 5wt is the powerhouse of the series—built to handle it all. With more muscle than the 4wt and the versatility to throw overweighted floating, intermediate, and sinking lines, it thrives across a range of demanding scenarios. Dredging deep buckets on the Madison? No problem. Throwing intermediate lines on stillwater? Absolutely. Launching long chironomid or balanced leech rigs from the bank or boat? Done.

Technology
The AIR 2 REACH uses Winston's new versatile double-bonded NanoParticle graphite technology. This incredible material Enhances both performance and presentation yet creates an unbelievably stable rod blank with exceptional feel.
Ultimately, NanoParticle technology enhances the classic Winston action and improves lightness, durability, and strength, while easily loading at typical trout fishing distances. We’re excited to introduce this incredible technology to help anglers achieve perfect performance and more enjoyment on the water.

2. NanoParticles increase a rod’s strength by 24% compared to standard resin, enhancing fish-fighting power.
3. Thinner blank walls transmit more feel, improving sensitivity.
4. Incredible hoop strength delivers more stability for improved loop control and pin-point accuracy.
5. Lower resin content results in lighter blanks, allowing for better connection on both long and short casts.
6. More lively rod action provides feel up close and reserve power when needed.
