Winston AIR TH rods are the ultimate casting machines featuring Winston's propietary SuperSilica resin that redefines what light, balanced and powerful rod means in the two handed world. These rods cast with ease and precision requiring little to know effort to laser out incredible lengths of line to those fish at the outer limits of most peoples casting range.

Featuring a deep loading action with fast recovery rates, AIR TH models are ideal for any steelhead and salmon fishing application. They showcase adaptive and specified grain windows that are ideal for specific two-hand applications. In addition to the dialed grain windows, AIR TH models utilize smaller diameter grips to give anglers more feel and intuition during the cast. AIR TH rods adjust to any casting style and preference by utilizing several standardized rod lengths across multiple grain windows. In the same way the 9’ rod length became the industry standard for a versatile single hand rod, we’ve dialed in our famous 13’3” lengths in 6, 7, and 8 weight grain windows to specify the perfect rod length across different applications.

Whether anglers prefer sustained anchor, touch and go, traditional, or mid belly techniques, Winston AIR TH rods support infinite casting styles, and offer unrivaled feel and performance across any two-hand casting application.

5WT: Anglers needing a crossover rod for trout and light steelhead should consider this for their summer steelhead and big trout river needs. Tip recommendations: 10 feet of T8 – T10, 10’ poly leaders

6WT: Built in 12’6” and 13’3” tapers, both offer a lighter touch for steelhead. The classic 12’6” adds versatility to both Skagit and dry line applications. The 13’3’ is the perfect winter steelhead rod, that can get smaller flies in the strike zone. Tip recommendations: 10 feet of T8 – T10, 10’ poly leaders

7WT: The 12’3” model lends itself to tight spots and heavy tips on smaller steelhead water and our classic 13’3” taper, is arguably the most versatile spey rod ever created. Tip recommendations: T8-14 10’-12’

8WT: These powerful 8 weights appeal to 2 different fishing applications. The 13’3” appeals to the shorter Skagit and Scandi lines and tips. The 14’6” is our traditional long-belly option for fishing greased lines, or longer Scandinavian shooting heads. Tip Recommendations: T10-14, 10-14’

9WT: An amazingly light and responsive rod but built with extra power to handle giant king salmon. This rod casts the big flies on heavy Skagit lines needed to land the most powerful fish that swim from the ocean into the river. Tip Recommendations: T12-18, 10-12’
