Winston Pure 2 5WT 9'

Description

The 9’ 5 weight is the ideal big-water rod in the entire line-up. With a slower action compared to our AIR 2, this 5 weight is up for longer casts, bigger flies, and amazing control in a medium-fast action format. If you’re looking for a versatile 5 weight, but prefer a paced, smooth action, this rod will cover multiple, big tailwater fishing applications.

The new PURE 2 is crafted for anglers who demand both precision and joy in the water. Building on our 95-year legacy of excellence of crafting the world's finest fly rods for trout, this rod embodies the essence of the "Pure" fly fishing experience: a deep connection to fly fishing and free from distractions. 

With our revolutionary NanoParticle graphite technology, the PURE 2 offers unparalleled lightness, strength, and sensitivity, enhancing the feel of every cast. Designed for the world’s most technical trout fisheries, from tailwaters to small streams, these rods deliver flawless dry fly presentations and protect delicate tippets with ease. From the first cast, you'll feel the magic of Winston’s purest and most sacred of rod designs.
