Our Thoughts:

The 8'6" 4wt Winston Air 2 is one of our favorite dry fly specific rods. The shorter length of this rod allows for precise and accurate shots at rising fish, even with longer leaders. This rod isn't made for bomb shots, but keep it within 50ft and this rod shines.

Here's What Winston Has To Say:

This flagship series covers your 3wt. thru 6wt needs and has earned rave reviews from shop owners, guides, and anglers. Utilizing boron technology, AIR 2 rods make beautiful, accurate casts at long and short distances and have exceptional feel. The 3 and 4wts are superb dry and light nymph rods, while the 5 and 6wts are true all-arounders that can do everything from small dries to double nymphs to streamers. All rods come with our graphite tube and logo rod sock.
