AIR 2 TROUT 5-PIECE

The R.L. Winston AIR 2 5-Piece rod redefines what a travel rod can be. By bringing the award-winning AIR 2 technology—nano-particle graphite and specialized resin—into a 5-section configuration, Winston has created a rod that is exceptionally light and strong without sacrificing its legendary smooth action. Handcrafted in Twin Bridges, Montana, this rod features a figured Box Elder reel seat and light wire shooting guides. Measuring just 24.5” in its premium graphite tube, it is the ultimate tool for the angler who refuses to compromise on performance while exploring remote waters.

Rocky Mountain / Wyoming Tip: For the Wyoming angler, this 5-piece is a game-changer for the Wind River Range or the Cloud Peak Wilderness. The 24.5" tube length fits vertically inside most 45L+ backpacking packs, protecting your investment from granite scrambles. Its medium-fast action is specifically tuned for the high-altitude winds of the Rockies, providing enough line speed to punch through a gust while maintaining the delicate presentation needed for picky alpine brookies.
