"WHAT TYPE OF ACTION DO YOU PREFER?
Slow, medium, medium-fast, fast, very fast. These are the actions of Winston fly rods. The action you are most comfortable with and your ability to make that action work for you are both important things to consider. Often, experienced anglers choose different actions for different situations. A medium-action for trout fishing, for example, and a fast-action for saltwater.
WHAT KIND OF CASTER ARE YOU?
Beginner and intermediate anglers can cast longer distances using a fast-action rod. More accompished anglers can cast just as far with medium-action rods, which also have the ability to make delicate and effective presentations at shorter distances.
DO YOU WADE OR FISH FROM A BOAT?
In terms of freshwater fishing, a fast-action rod is preferable if you're fishing from a drift boat. Quick and accurate casts, and lots of them, define this kind of fishing.
WHAT TYPE OF FLIES DO YOU USE MOST?
Medium and slower action rods will present dry flies lightly on the water. Faster action rods will cast larger flies and weighted patterns more easily.
WHERE DO YOU FISH?
A shorter length rod is better for small, brushy streams and overhanding trees. Medium length rods are more versatile, and preferred for larger water. Our longer length rods are specialized, with applications for float tubing, steelheading or casting for stripers from rocky shorelines where you need a high backseat.
IS IT WINDY WHERE YOU FISH?
High line speeds are needed to cast into the wind. These are most easily achieved with fast-action rods. However, very good casters can generate high line speeds with a medium-action rod.
HOW MANY RODS DO YOU NEED?
Most saltwater anglers own a variety of rods to handle a variety of lines and fish: an 8-wt for bonefi"
