Our Thoughts:

The Winston Air 2 9' 6wt is likely our favorite heavy duty do-all rod. This is due to the fact that this rod has extra feel and presentation ability that other 9' 6wts lack. Although it won't do it perfectly, this rod can still lay down a BWO dry like a charm. Ideally though, this rod is build for hopper-droppers, nymphing, and light streamers on floating lines. 

Here's What Winston Has To Say:

This flagship series covers your 3wt. thru 6wt needs and has earned rave reviews from shop owners, guides, and anglers. Utilizing boron technology, AIR 2 rods make beautiful, accurate casts at long and short distances and have exceptional feel. The 3 and 4wts are superb dry and light nymph rods, while the 5 and 6wts are true all-arounders that can do everything from small dries to double nymphs to streamers. All rods come with our graphite tube and logo rod sock.
