Our Thoughts:

the 9' 5wt Winston Air 2 is one our favorite do-all trout rods available on the market. The rod is labeled as fast, but we see it as a medium-fast with a little more reserved power. This type of taper allows for perfect dry fly presentations while also being able to turn over any nymph rig or light streamer. Definitely a top candidate for someone who's looking for one rod for trout fishing.

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.
