R. L. WINSTON BAMBOO FLY RODS Winston has been building bamboo rods since 1929. These beautiful, simply superb fishing instruments are made by hand, one at a time. Each rod can take up to a year to build, representing the pinnacle of years of testing, design refinements and expert knowledge that has been passed down over the decades.
Fishing bamboo is one of the great experiences in angling; they have a wonderful slow action and feature incredible touch and feel, as well as superb line and loop control. When you hold one, or cast one, or feel one bend under the weight of a good fish, then you'll understand. There is nothing quite as magical as fishing a Winston Bamboo Fly Rod. And not just a magnificent fishing tool, but also a wise investment as fine bamboo rods appreciate in value over the years (Winston Bamboo Rod values are up 15-23% over the past 8 years).
All rods come with two tips, and are available in 2-Piece or 3-Piece configuration. Traditional agate stripper guides are used, with titanium-plated snake guides. All rods are hand inscribed with line size, length, weight and serial number. Reelseats are nickel-silver with your choice of wood insert; Burled Box Elder, Zebrawood or Lacewood.
