About the brand: R.L. Winston Fly Rods


This is the second installment in our series that looks at different fly fishing brands (you can read the first about Sage). In this post we’ll look at the venerable R.L. Winston company. Known for their high tech boron/graphite composite rods as well as their high end bamboo fly rods, Winston rods has been making fly fishing rods for over 75 years.

Winston fly rods is based in Twin Bridges, Montana with the Beaverhead, Big Hole, Jefferson, Ruby, and Madison Rivers at their backdoor - ideal research and development grounds for their craft. Roughly forty craftsmen work at Winston to create some of the highest quality and visually appealing fly rods on the market. With graphite rods starting at $200 and incredible bamboo fly rods up to $3,000, their selection of rods cover the full spectrum.
