Reach Further. Feel Everything. – R.L. Winston Air 2 REACH Fly Rod

Precision meets purpose in the R.L. Winston Air 2 REACH, a groundbreaking 10-foot rod series that blends feather-light responsiveness with powerful control. Built using NanoParticle double-bonded graphite technology, each rod in the REACH series is fine-tuned for advanced fly anglers who demand finesse, distance, and total line control across technical trout water, big lakes, and everything in between.

This is not just a longer rod—it's a better rod for reaching the next level of presentation, drift, and connection.

Purpose-Built Models:

REACH 10' 4WT – Precision Meets Finesse

Designed for technical presentations to picky trout, the 10’ 4wt model thrives on finesse. Its progressive action protects light tippets, offers exceptional feel, and controls long leaders with ease. Whether you're casting dries from a drift boat, stacking long-distance mends, tight-line nymphing, or swinging soft hackles at dusk, this rod delivers flawless control on the most delicate eats.

REACH 10' 5WT – The All-Water Workhorse

This is the powerhouse of the lineup. With added backbone and versatility, the 10’ 5wt handles overweighted floating, intermediate, and sinking lines. From dredging deep seams on the Madison to casting chironomid rigs on stillwaters, this rod is your answer to technical power and versatility. If you only bring one 10-footer—make it this one.

REACH 10' 6WT – Muscle for the Monsters

For anglers who measure fish in pounds, not inches, the 10’ 6wt is your go-to weapon. Engineered for big indicators, heavy sinking lines, and even streamers, this rod shines on the stillwaters of BC, windy banks of Pyramid Lake, and anywhere heavy rigs and huge fish live. Power, reach, and stability come together to tackle your biggest challenges.
