The 2027 R.L. Winston Bamboo fly rod lineup carries forward a tradition that has been part of Winston since 1929. These are fishing rods first, handcrafted for anglers who value smooth loading, precise loop control, delicate presentation and the unmistakable feel of split-cane bamboo.

Each Winston Bamboo rod is built in Twin Bridges, Montana from six-strip hexagonal bamboo and includes two matching tip sections. Current 2027 special-order choices include 2- or 3-piece construction, Cigar or Full Wells grips, and nickel-silver reel-seat hardware with either a Burled Box Elder or Spalted Alder insert.
