97 Years of Craftsmanship

Winston's bamboo tradition dates to 1929. Handcrafted in Twin Bridges, Montana, these split-cane rods offer slow, smooth loading, precise loop control, and delicate presentation for anglers who appreciate the feel of bamboo. A premium wood reel seat with uplocking nickel silver hardware complements the rod's traditional bamboo construction.

Two Matching Tips Included

This 3-piece rod includes a butt section, a midsection, and two matching bamboo tip sections: one tip to complete the rod and an extra matching tip to keep with it. Both tips are included with this individual rod, along with the Winston logo rod sock and powder-coated aluminum rod tube.
