Next-Generation Trout Spey Performance

The Winston Microspey AIR 2 is Winston's next generation of rods designed for two-handed trout fishing. Built with the award-winning AIR 2 material platform, these rods offer lighter overall weight, faster recovery, better connection, and the smooth feel Winston is known for.

Designed specifically for trout Spey applications, the Microspey AIR 2 provides excellent feedback through the cast and swing. Whether you are adding movement to swung flies, covering water with soft hackles, skating caddis, or fishing small streamers, this series gives trout anglers increased line control and a more connected feel when fighting trout-sized fish.

Performance and Presentation

With lighter blank weight and improved graphite recovery, the Microspey AIR 2 is built for a wide range of two-handed trout casting techniques, including Snap T casts, touch-and-go casts, and Snake Rolls. The rods load smoothly, recover quickly, and provide the feel needed to present flies with confidence.

All-new Microspey tapers help improve presentation while still offering enough crispness on the forward cast. These rods work well with trout Spey lines in Skagit, Scandi, and traditional styles, making them versatile tools for fishing lighter leaders, sink tips, poly leaders, and swung-fly presentations.

Trout-Centric Design

The newly designed thin-diameter Microspey grip provides feedback through the casting stroke, helping reduce blown anchors and improve casting consistency. The longer 4" bottom grip gives anglers more hand-position options while maintaining a slimmer profile than a full-size Spey grip.

The Microspey AIR 2 is finished with a figured maple reel seat produced exclusively for Winston, nickel silver hardware, double downlocking rings, and trout-focused componentry. Each rod comes with a logo rod sock and premium graphite tube and is designed and handcrafted in Twin Bridges, Montana, USA.

Model Notes

  • 2 wt., 10'9": The lightest and shortest model in the series. A sweet Scandi caster that is also capable of fishing heavier Skagit heads and sink tips. A strong choice for small rivers, skating caddis, and soft hackles.
  • 3 wt., 11'0": The do-it-all model for a wide range of trout Spey situations. Well suited for soft hackles, small streamers, longer casts, shorter casts, and stillwater indicator applications.
  • 4 wt., 11'3": The most powerful model in the series. Built for bigger water, larger flies, more aggressive Skagit setups, and touch-and-go casting with longer lines.
