R.L. Winston Air 2 Reach Fly Rod

Sale price$ 1,195.00
10' 4wt

A stiff butt section and light tip make this a very nice tightline rod. I bought this rod to fish very light tippets as the tip on this rod is an unparalleled shock absorber. I use it for tightline fishing on rivers and as well as for light tippet dry fly fishing on lakes and spring creeks. I would not call it a big indicator or streamer rod, but a champ for tightline, dry dropper, and dry fly.

Description

Everything you love about Air 2 technology in a new 10' length. All of these models excel at multiple fishing situations, but the Nor Cal special is the 10' 4-weight configuration, which allows the angler to tackle our brushy streams with easy roll casting and next level high stick nymphing. Want to throw dry flies? No problem, it retains plenty of finesse and accuracy for when the hatch comes off. Streamers? Sure! Casting and fishing smaller streamers are a breeze with a 10 footer in hand. Believe the hype.

The flagship of the next generation all-around freshwater fly rods (3wt-6wt), the Boron AIR 2 might just be the most capable freshwater tool of all time. These rods can do anything – present tiny dry flies to wary trout on flat water, cast a streamer to the far bank in the wind, launch the entire line when you need it, and make quick, accurate close-range shots. 

As soon as you make your first casting stroke, you will feel the sensitivity, refined power and effortless accuracy are all cranked to 11. The rod feels alive in hand, like an extension of your body, rather than a simple tool. Casting this rod will fire off all your dopamine receptors and make you forget about every other rod you own. 

From high stick nymphing, to pounding the banks from the boat, or wet wading, the versatility is incredible. A pack rod, a travel rod, a boat rod, a spring creek rod, and an all-around rod, the AIR 2 is your huckleberry. When you can only bring one rod, choose the amazing new Boron AIR 2. You won’t want to leave home without it. Now is the time.
