The 13’3” #6 weight is by far the best 6 weight spey rod we’ve ever had in our hands. Absolutely perfect year round Rogue River spey rod, as it has the power to cast intruders as well as the finesse to absolutely bomb scandi lines. Perfect summer steelhead rod for most anywhere, and can handle the winter flies like no other 6 weight on the market.

PERFECTLY BALANCED, POWERFUL, RESPONSIVE, AND JUST PLAIN FUN TO FISH.

Our new Winston AIR TH rods redefine two-hand casting performance. Utilizing our SuperSilica resin system and Boron technology, these rods are unbelievably light, perfectly balanced, powerful, responsive, and just plain fun to fish.

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.

AIR TH 6wt: We carry the 13’3’ #6, as like we said above it’s the best #6 weight spey on the market. Not only is it incredible for summer steelhead everywhere, but it’s also a great winter steelhead rod as it’s the only 6 weight that can make long casts with intruders and 12.5’ of T-11.

Tip recommendations: 10 feet of T8 – T11, 10’ poly leaders

Line recommendations: 12’6” #6: Skagit = 420-450 grains, Scandi = 390 -420 grains 13’3” #6: Skagit = 420-450 grains, Scandi = 390-420 grains

AIR TH 7wt: Featured in two lengths, a 12’3” for shorter heads and bigger flies, and our classic 13’3” taper, that honestly, does just about everything well. Two different lengths gives anglers of different casting styles the ability to choose the model that fits them best. If one can only own one steelhead rod, these 7 weights will cover a wide range of applications.
Tip recommendations: T8-14 10’-12’

Line recommendations: 13’3” #7: Skagit = 510-525 grains, Scandi = 440-480 grains

AIR TH 8wt: Designed in 2 unique lengths, these powerful 8 weights appeal to 2 different fishing applications. The 13’3” gives anglers a longer option without being too long – it’ll lean closer to the more traditional longer Skagit and Scandi lines and cast longer tips. The 14’6” is our traditional long-belly length for fishing greased lines, or longer Scandinavian shooting heads. Capable of shooting huge casts on the biggest rivers, for big anadromous fish.
Tip Recommendations: T10-14, 10-14’

Line recommendations: 13’3” #8: Skagit = 540-570 grains, Scandi = 510-540 grains
