In continuous operation since 1929, the R. L. Winston Rod Company has been around longer than most of us have been alive! With a history that includes some of the finest Bamboo Rods ever made and the first patent on a "Hollow-Fluted" Fly Rod, Winston has led the way with innovation, workmanship and quality since the early days of our sport.

Located in Twin Bridges, Montana (a "Double-Haul" away from the "Blue-Ribbon" Beaverhead, Big Hole, Jefferson and Ruby Rivers), Winston still makes rods reminiscent of the early masters! Using only the finest nickel silver components, exotic wood, and top-quality cork, Winston Bamboo, Graphite and Fiberglass rods are in a class by themselves!

Currently, Winston offers six series of Graphite Fly Rods, two series of Bamboo Fly Rods and a Fiberglass Fly Rod that will remind the angler of the finest glass rods ever built! Add to this some of the last custom fit "Internal" ferrule's available and unmatched workmanship and you will soon see why no one has just one Winston!

While not as well known in the Northeast as some other rod manufacturers, Winston Fly Rods are a staple in the west where the Trout is king and the favorite of many Guides and lifelong Fly Fisherman. Before you purchase your next Fly Rod, be sure to stop in and try a Winston - you won't be disappointed!

Note: All Winston Fly Rods (with the exception of the Ibis) can be custom ordered with the reel seat (Modern Uplock or Classic Downlock) and Wood Spacer (Zebra, Birdseye Maple, Dark Walnut) of your choice
