This configuration was so balanced and smooth, that Joan Wulff chose this rod as her favorite. The most popular of all the Winston WT 5-weight models was the 8’6” 5 weight. Since 1975, when Winston first began working with graphite material, the 5-weight rod has been a key rod for the company, as it is smooth enough for delicate dry fly presentations, yet powerful enough for wind, nymphing, and small streamers.

#WINSTON IM6 FLY ROD FOR SALE SERIES#
From size 30 flies to the lightest of tippet, these small stream rods have been fished in thin blue lines barely discernable on topo maps the world over.Īlthough the series ran for just 2 years, the DL4’s unique feel soon gained a cult following shortly after its discontinuation. The 7’6” 3 weight was one of the most popular small water rods Winston ever developed, able to load a standard 3-weight double taper lines in as little as 10 feet. More progressive than the highly touted 3-piece IM6 models, the series gained a distinct reputation as the graphite rod with a fiberglass soul. The DL4 series was the first and only 4-piece Winston rod series with internal spigot ferrules. The Staff of Moses is the epitome of this series and the definition of Winston innovation. The Boron IIt series set the stage for utilizing modern materials in classic, moderate, and progressive rod actions. To its fans, The Staff of Moses, displayed an uncanny ability to present the smallest of flies, on the lightest of tippet, and land surprisingly large trout. The rod was so highly regarded, that it was dubbed “The Staff of Moses”. The most distinguished rod in the Boron IIt series was the famous 8’6” 4 weight. The Boron IIt, the first Winston to incorporate higher modulus graphite with a light application of Boron composite into Winston’s celebrated light line trout tapers, achieved a celebrated, even biblical reputation among dry fly enthusiasts.
