Introducing the incredible Winston Boron IIt fly rod blanks!
Innovation meets tradition. Winston’s Boron IIt series prove that advanced boron technology can be used to create exceptional medium-action fly rods. With this series, Winston has moved their proven, second-generation boron in a whole new direction, with extraordinarily lightweight rods that combine the powerful, highly responsive characteristics of Boron II with the legendary smoothness and delicacy of our more traditional-action rods. Winston fully recognizes that many people enjoy fishing for trout with medium-action rods. Their Boron IIt series is a true breakthrough for such anglers.

I’ve spent most of my fishing time in recent years chasing exotic species around the globe, and felt like I was losing touch with my trout-fishing roots. So 2006 became the “Year of the Trout” for me. In August an 8.5-foot, 4-weight version of Winston’s new Boron IIt rod arrived. These traditional (read “medium”) action trout rods are based on Winston’s second-generation boron/graphite technology, and now that I was a
bonafide trout bum again I wasted no time packing it off for a week in Montana, followed by another week in Colorado. A day with the Boron IIt on Depuy’s spring creek in Paradise Valley, throwing ridiculously small flies to surprisingly
big trout, convinced me that this was the trout rod of my dreams. Weighing only 2.5 oz., it delivered the most delicate dry-fly presentations imaginable, with plenty of reserve power for longer casts. - Bill Battles (As appeared in Fly Fish America’s 2007 Gear Guide)
