Building on Winston’s 95-year legacy of excellence, hand 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 Winston’s 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. These light-line presentation tools offer advantages over other dry fly rods on the market by flexing evenly, quickly and smoothly, while maintaining unbelievable sensitivity.

ALL AROUND MEDIUM ACTION TROUT MODELS:
9’ 4 weight PURE 2 The most versatile technical tailwater rod in the group, the 9’ 4 weight is ready to turn over long leaders to snobby tailwater fish. It has backbone for double dries and light droppers, but truly showcases the classic Winston action for longer presentations.
8’3” 5 weight PURE 2 An incredible choice for smaller tailwater and freestone rivers. For us, the Beaverhead River has heavy flows, and short casts that tuck caddis and sallies under willows and faster pockets bring success. This rod is ready for those quick shots and pinpoint accuracy in tighter situations.
9’ 5 weight PURE 2 The 9’ 5 weight is the ideal big-water rod in the entire line-up. With a slower action compared to Winston’s 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.
SPRING CREEK AND SMALL STREAM MEDIUM ACTION TROUT MODELS:
7’3” 2 weight PURE 2 When fishing small trout on tiny water, this 2 weight is the perfect choice. Delicate for trout that spook at your shadow, but just plain fun to fish, especially when a 10” brookie bends the rod to the cork.
6’9” 3 weight PURE 2 Made for those maniacs that head into the small, wooded streams of the Appalachians or willow choked creeks out West, this 3 weight is compact for the tightest of water, capable of flicks, bow and arrow, and other casts when a back-cast is tough.
7’9” 3 weight PURE 2 If you can own only one small creek rod, the 7’9” 3 weight is it. Incredibly supple with added control for slightly longer casts, you’ll want to pull out this rod for your perfect, happy days on smaller water.
7’9” 4 weight PURE 2 When accuracy is critical and delicacy is mandatory, the 7’9” 4 weight has incredible touch and feel, allowing anglers more versatility when more power is required.
8’3” 4 weight PURE 2 If you can own only one spring creek rod, the PURE 2 8’3” 4 weight is the one. Incredibly delicate with superb control, this outstanding rod will become a classic. With unmatched feel, this rod will load at your shoelaces and manage longer drifts with ease.
