The new PURE 2 series of fly rods (8 models in 2-weight through 5-weight) are made to excel in the world’s legendary dry fly fisheries and in the most challenging technical trout applications. Utilizing new NanoParticle materials, these rods are smooth, delicate and lively. In a broad range of dry-fly situations, from large tailwaters, technical spring creeks, and small streams, these new light-line presentation rods flex evenly, recover quickly, and maintain an incredibly smooth and balanced ‘Winston Feel.’

The PURE 2 uses our new versatile double-bonded NanoParticle graphite technology. This incredible material Enhances both performance and presentation yet creates an unbelievably stable rod blank with exceptional feel.

7’3” 2 weight PURE 2
When fishing small trout on tiny water, this 2 weight is the perfect choice. Delicate for trout that spook at your shadow, but just plain fun to fish, especially when a 10” brookie bends the rod to the cork.

6’9” 3 weight PURE 2
Made for those maniacs that head into the small, wooded streams of the Appalachians or willow choked creeks out West, this 3 weight is compact for the tightest of water, capable of flicks, bow and arrow, and other casts when a back-cast is tough.

7’9” 3 weight PURE 2
If you can own only one small creek rod, the 7’9” 3 weight is it. Incredibly supple with added control for slightly longer casts, you’ll want to pull out this rod for your perfect, happy days on smaller water.

7’9” 4 weight PURE 2
When accuracy is critical and delicacy is mandatory, the 7’9” 4 weight has incredible touch and feel, allowing anglers more versatility when more power is required.

8’3” 4 weight PURE 2
If you can own only one spring creek rod, the PURE 2 8’3” 4 weight is the one. Incredibly delicate with superb control, this incredible rod will become a classic. With unmatched feel, this rod will load at your shoelaces and manage longer drifts with
ease.

9’ 4 weight PURE 2
The most versatile technical tailwater rod in the group, the 9’ 4 weight is ready to turn over long leaders to snobby tailwaterfish. It has backbone for double dries and light droppers, but truly showcases the classic Winston action for longer presentations.

8’3” 5 weight PURE 2
An incredible choice for smaller tailwater and freestone rivers. For us, the Beaverhead River has heavy flows, and short casts that tuck caddis and sallies under willows and faster pockets bring success. This rod is ready for those quick shots and pinpoint accuracy in tighter situations.

9’ 5 weight PURE 2
The 9’ 5 weight is the ideal big-water rod in the entire line-up. With a slower action compared to our AIR 2, this 5 weight is up for longer casts, bigger flies, and amazing control in a medium-fast action format. If you’re looking for a versatile 5 weight,but prefer a paced, smooth action, this rod will cover multiple, big tailwater fishing applications.
