ZXL Series

The new ZXL rods are significantly lighter, stronger and easier to cast for everyone who enjoys the relaxed casting rhythm of a smooth progressive taper. Through the miracle of our G5 process, we were able to remove every gram of unnecessary material from each blank and replace traditional glass hoop fibers with lighter, more responsive graphite.

Z-Axis Series

We went back to the drawing board to create the incredible new Z-Axis Series Fast Action Rods. By improving the entire rod-building process, we created a rod that's significantly lighter, stronger and easier to cast for anglers of all skill levels. The Z-Axis offers an entirely new level of fishability with unprecedented line feel, response and performance. But don't take our word for it-visit a local fly shop and take it for a test spin.

TXL Series

Combine near weightlessness with a groundbreaking level of performance, and the result is our TXL Series rods. Through our exclusive Generation 5 Technology, we've built an amazingly light fly rod, while increasing strength, smoothness and sensitivity to "line feel." In angling terms, that means you'll cast better, fish more effectively and enjoy yourself more. We're especially proud to offer the TXL in the revolutionary 000, or "triple-ought" line weight.

BASS Series

After working with a small, tight-lipped group of serious bass anglers, we've developed two new rods that can drop a hair frog or an air-light diver with pinpoint accuracy and hardly a ripple on the water. From a fly fishing perspective, we’re talking about effortlessly pushing big, wind-resistant bugs into tight quarters. Available in two models, Smallmouth and Largemouth, both rods measure 7'11", which slides them just under the strict bass tournament rules for rod length. Additionally, both rods are sold with custom bass taper flylines and a travel case for protection.

When used outside the bass fishing world, we strongly recommend them for probing the mangroves or throwing huge flies for pike and muskies.

They also feature a gorgeous "blue ribbon" blue finish, titanium anodized aluminum reel seat hardware and British-made, hard chrome-plated guides.

Xi2 Series

No matter which saltwater challenges you face-from bonefish to billfish-Xi2 Series rods let you concentrate on the fish instead of your casting. Built with our innovative Generation 5 (G5) Technology, Xi2 rods feel lighter and livelier than other saltwater rods. The Modulus Positioning System (MPS) that we developed for these rods provides a startling level of "line feel" throughout the casting stroke. This enhanced ability to feel the rod load allows you to apply power more efficiently.

Cross Current Saltwater Fly

Its the age-old formula... find the moving water and find the fish. Tides and currents - they're the keys to saltwater flyfishing. Where current meets still water or dissimilar currents converge, edges are created and the bait is trapped. It s these edges that flyfishers seek... the "crosscurrents" where fish and fly meet!

Saltwater flyfishing is a passion - it's advantage fish, not angler. A fanatical pursuit with zeal fueled by the degree of difficulty required to reach the ultimate goal. It's fast fish and skinny water for some... big fish and blue water for others. Sometimes it's finesse and long leaders, but most of the time it's brute strength and power! Creating fly rods for such a demanding fishery requires a lot of dreaming and a lot of fishing. The final result is the most advanced and uniquely different series of fly rods ever. Messrs. Pallot, Wejebe, Rajeff and Loomis and a cast of hundreds shared their angling and casting expertise to help us create our new "CrossCurrent" saltwater fly rods.

Boron II-MX

Introducing the fresh and saltwater Boron II-MX series. MX stands for maximum, as in maximum power, distance and fish fighting capabilities. The 5 and 6-weights are slightly stiffer and faster than their Boron IIx counterparts; the 7 through 12-weights are true “guns” that can handle sinking lines, big flies and adverse wind conditions. While all seven models feature faster actions and are capable of making long distance, 100+ foot casts, they will amaze you with their responsiveness and light weight. The rods come with a cork fighting butt and our new double locking reel seat. Whether you’re chucking 6'' long “grocery” flies or battling fly rod humbling winds, a Boron II-MX will get the job done.

Boron IIT

Innovation meets tradition. Introduced last year, the Boron IIt series proved that advanced boron technology could be used to create exceptional medium-action fly rods. With this series, we moved our proven, second-generation boron in a whole new direction, with extraordinarily lightweight rods that combine the powerful, highly responsive characteristics of Boron II with the legendary smoothness and delicacy of our more traditional-action rods. At Winston, we fully recognize that many people enjoy fishing for trout with medium-action rods. Our Boron IIt series is a true breakthrough for such anglers.

Boron IIX

BORON IIx RODS HAVE REDEFINED THE FAST-ACTION CATEGORY. A common flaw in most fast-action designs is a lack of casting range; the rods are often hard to load at short distances and even at longer range can be clumsy due to overly stiff butt sections. The Boron IIx series has changed everything. These are responsive, powerful, highly accurate fly rods that perform across a wide casting range; they load easily for gentle presentations up close, yet can also make very long, pinpoint casts of 100 feet. To date, across the board, Boron IIx rods (as well as Boron IIt rods) are the lightest in the industry. This makes for very pleasant, all-day casting, even with the 10 and 12-weights. We urge you to cast a Boron IIx today. You will be amazed!

Echo

Echo2 - Freshwater

Echo2 Freshwater fly rods were designed by Tim Rajeff to be the ultimate tools for chasing trout. Each Freshwater Rod features the ultimate in componentry--friction free titanium coated SIC stripping guides, maple reel seats with nickel coated barrels and hoods, a beautiful wine colored blank finish, and high grade cork handle. Knowing that beauty is only skin deep, Tim Rajeff designed each rod with its own specific power and action in order to provide you with the best tool for the job. Other manufacturers utilize a single action across an entire range of rods, which is just downright silly. To further allow you to fine tune the actions of Echo2 rods, each rod comes with 2 tips; an "A" tip for accuracy and a "D" tip for distance.

Echo2 - Saltwater

The Echo2 Saltwater series of fly rods were designed by Tim Rajeff to do what every chaser of big fish needs most in a fly rod; cast large flies, give the wind something to howl at, survive the rigors of serious fishing, and have the backbone to play tug-o-war with Moby Dick.

No one wants to stick it to Dick with an ugly fly rod, so Tim paid special attention to the components and made the Echo2 rods a beautiful thing to look at as well. The Echo2 Saltwater rods feature top of the line components; high grade cork handles, extra hard stripper guides with "illusion plasma coating system" in titanium coated frames, hard chrome snake guides, and a deep blue gloss finish. The #12 has a unique removable EVA foam fighting grip for really putting the pressure on. Poor Moby doesn't stand a chance.

To further put the competition on the defensive, every Echo2 rod comes with two tips; one tip marked "A" for accuracy, and another marked "D" for distance. Each tip has a distinct action to help you further achieve your casting needs.

Depending on the model, handles are Half or Full Wells grips with mortised, impregnated hardwood reel seats or anodized aluminum reel seats.
