From Winston Rods:

The R.L. Winston Rod Company, located in Twin Bridges, Montana, is excited to announce the PURE 2, our newest light- line, dry fly, and technical presentation fly rods. These rods are available to purchase immediately, exclusively through authorized Winston dealers worldwide.

The new PURE 2 series of fly rods (8 models in 2-weight through 5-weight) are made to excel in the world’s legendary dry fly fisheries and in the most challenging technical trout applications. Utilizing new NanoParticle materials, these rods are smooth, delicate and lively. In a broad range of dry-fly situations, from large tailwaters, technical spring creeks, and small streams, these new light-line presentation rods flex evenly, recover quickly, and maintain an incredibly smooth and balanced ‘Winston Feel.’

“The Pure 2 was designed with one goal in mind, dry fly fishing. From late night spring creek spinner falls to the chaotic hatches of the Beaverhead and Big Hole rivers, the Pure 2 has seen it all and done it all. We built this series from the ground up and formulated a beautiful moderate-fast taper, wrapped in high performance materials…a playful front half for short delicate shots, and enough back bone to…drop a hopper on a dinner plate at 50 feet…”

Hank Haen, head of Engineering and Design at Winston.

DOUBLE-BONDED NANO-PARTICLE GRAPHITE

All 8 models in the PURE 2 rod series incorporate our new versatile double-bonded NanoParticle graphite technology. This incredible material enhances both performance and presentation yet creates an unbelievably stable rod blank with exceptional feel. Ultimately, NanoParticle technology complements the classic Winston action perfectly as it enhances lightness, durability, and strength, while easily loading and presenting flies perfectly at typical trout fishing distances.

We’re excited to introduce these amazing new fly rods to provide anglers more enjoyment and success on the water.
