Winston rods are sweeeeeettt!!! I've been lucky enough that a good friend let me cast his and man was it smooth! One day I will have one in my stable!

Congratulations on yours! And if u don't enjoy it ill take it off of your hands

It is a good day.

I remember how I felt when I finally got my Winston, a 2-piece downlocking 8'6" 5 wt WT. Tom McGuane called it "the five-weight trout rod against which all others are measured." Since then I have been lucky enough to acquire an 8' 4wt Tom Morgan Favorite as well. The great thing is, some of that feeling still comes back every time I open the tube.

Careful man, one rarely stops at one Winston! I speak from experience. The joy you felt when it arrived will pale in comparison to when you get it on the water. Congrats!

Man, I dream of the day I add a 5 wt bIIIx to my quiver... Congrats, I'm super jealous, no matter which Winston it is

Congrats! I have a couple Winstons. My 9' 10 wt. is my favorite single hand rod. I just built a new 10' 7 wt. BIIX. Unfortunately there is still 3' of ice on the river so it's going to be a while before I can cast it. At least for fish.

Dan,
3 feet ofnice? I don't think we have 3 feet of soil between the house and the earth's core here

Which model Winston por favor ?

 

[troutchaser8]

Hey guys. Sorry I only had one picture up! My computer crashed yesterday and I couldn't finish editing it.

 

[newby]

Man I am envious or your reel seat. The box elder burl on mine is plain in comparison.

Holy Cow! It's above freezing... sort of. It's right at 32* F, so I'm pretty sure it will make it above freezing. I'm hoping this is a trend. Where's the cross your fingers smiley?

Finally, after over a year saving, I bought a new Winston Boron III-SX 9ft 6wt!

A few years ago, some forum members were complaining about the high cost of premium rods, and others were saying they could never afford one. I started a thread (too far back in time to find it) about how skipping a cup of Starbuck's, cutting back on smokes, snacks, etc would give a person enough savings in one year to buy a rod as sweet as this Winston. You've proven it can be done. Congrats on saving and buying what you wanted, and enjoy every minute on the water!

Congratulations! The wood spacer in that reel seat is gorgeous and I think it is very classy to write the rod's name in script by hand rather than the ubiquitous stenciling so common today.
