At IFTD this week, Winston introduced two new rods - the Salt Air (previewed earlier) and the PURE light line series. The PURE is a moderate action rod with a very slim profile, designed for open loops needed for fine dry fly presentation. Yet when test casting the 8-foot, 4-weight, it put out a great deal of line for this type of rod. It's not quite as lot as the fast-action Air series, but light enough to cast all day with no fatigue.
Winston attributes the qualities of the PURE rod to the Boron III technology, combined with advanced taper design. Like all Winston rods, the PURE is handcrafted in Twin Bridges, Montana, and carry a lifetime warranty. There are 10 models ranging from 7-foot, 2-weight to 9-foot, 5-weight. MSRP is $850. Blanks are also available for $425.
