R.L. Winston Air 2 Max

Availability: In stock (2)

The Air 2 Max is Winston's fastest, most powerful rod. It's built on the AIR 2 graphite platform and every line weight is tuned on its own for accuracy and line speed. It turns over big flies and heavy lines in the wind but still feels light in hand, and it has the highest strength-to-weight ratio Winston has made. Handcrafted in Twin Bridges, Montana.
