Utilizing award-winning materials in conjunction with the fastest and most powerful graphite tapers to date, Winston's new AIR 2 Max series optimizes performance in saltwater, warmwater, and large freshwater fishing applications across the globe.
Winston left everything on the water with their new big-game rods. The easy power, laser beam loops and featherweight of the new AIR 2 Max will break your brain. Cast in the parking lot all you want, but where these rods excel is on the water, with fish tailing in front of you. We had the opportunity to take several models to Christmas Island recently and WOW, did they perform. From quick and accurate shots at bonefish, to delicate presentations to wary triggerfish, to firing streamers at trevally, these rods continually impressed us.
Each model has been meticulously tuned for accuracy, lifting strength, and line speed, boasting the highest strength-to-weight ratio of any rod Winston has ever made. The AIR 2 Max series are powerful without effecting castability and remaining incredibly light in-hand. Proprietary AIR 2 and Boron materials create unprecedented feel, power, tracking, recovery, and lightweight performance – truly redefining fast-action performance for any saltwater and big-game application worldwide.
