HOW TO CHOOSE A WINSTON ROD:
WHAT TYPE OF ACTION DO YOU PREFER?
Slow, medium, medium-fast, fast, very fast. These are
the actions of Winston fly rods. The action you are
most comfortable with and your ability to make that
action work for you are both important things to consider.
Often, experienced anglers choose different actions
for different situations. A medium-action for trout
fishing, for example, and a fast-action for saltwater.
WHAT KIND OF CASTER ARE YOU?
Beginner and intermediate anglers can cast longer distances
using a fast-action rod. More accompished anglers can
cast just as far with medium-action rods, which also
have the ability to make delicate and effective presentations
at shorter distances.
DO YOU WADE OR FISH FROM A BOAT?
In terms of freshwater fishing, a fast-action rod is
preferable if you're fishing from a drift boat. Quick
and accurate casts, and lots of them, define this kind
of fishing.
WHAT TYPE OF FLIES DO YOU USE MOST?
Medium and slower action rods will present dry flies
lightly on the water. Faster action rods will cast larger
flies and weighted patterns more easily.
WHERE DO YOU FISH?
A shorter length rod is better for small, brushy streams
and overhanding trees. Medium length rods are more versatile,
and preferred for larger water. Our longer lenghth rods
are specialized, with applications for float tubing,
steelheading or casting for stripers from rocky shorelines
where you need a high backseat.
IS IT WINDY WHERE YOU FISH?
High line speeds are needed to cast into the wind. These
are most easily achieved with fast-action rods. However,
very good casters can generate high line speeds with
a medium-action rod.
HOW MANY RODS DO YOU NEED?
Most saltwater anglers own a variety of rods to handle
a variety of lines and fish: an 8-wt for bonefish, 9
and 10-wts for stripers, a 12-wt for tarpon. If you
can only purchase one, base your decision on the fish
you most often pursue. The same logic holds true for
freshwater. A 3 or 4-wt., a 5-wt or 6-wt will be sufficient
to cover almost every trout fishing situation. If you
can only have just one, choose a rod which will be most
versatile for the type of fishing you do.
What is Winston Action?
Every Winston has the unique and distinctive "feel"
that comes from a rod that is lightweight, balanced
and smooth. Over the years, this has come to be known
as the "Winston Action." The "Winston
Action" is something that distinguishes our fly
rods from all others, and words really can't describe
it. Casting or fishing one is the best way to understand.
