Experience the joy of fly fishing with the R.L. Winston PURE 4wt fly rod. This 8-foot, 4-piece rod is designed for those who appreciate the art of dry fly fishing. Combining world class components with a moderate action for a classic Winston feel, it just doesn’t get better than this. The 8’0” 4 weight Pure is touted as one of the greatest (if not the greatest) dry fly rods of all time. The graphite and fiberglass construction ensures a lightweight yet durable rod, perfect for small streams and tailwater trout and other freshwater species.

The Winston PURE rod is crafted with attention to detail, featuring a comfortable cork handle styled in a finer cigar grip said to give the angler a real connection to the feel of the rod. It's an ideal choice for enthusiasts seeking a high-quality, balanced rod for their dry fly fishing adventures. As a testament to its excellence, this rod comes with a lifetime manufacturer's warranty, ensuring peace of mind with your purchase.

These rods are rare on eBay (search for yourself) as anyone who owns one keeps it. Used ones are available for more than the new asking price here. Option of purchasing with an SA Magnitude Trout Expert line with clear tip in WF4F (probably the best pairing in the world for this rod) can be done for less than the usual retail SA line cost as well. Message first if interested in the combo with the line.

Shipping and any taxes or duties are the buyers responsibility. Returns are not accepted as you’re buying a new factory rod in the tube complete with lifetime warranty.

Info from Winston:

Rod comes with a graphite tube and logo rod sock.

8’0” 4WT: If you’re obsessed with feeding small flies to picky fish, our selection of 4 weight PUREs blend accuracy, delicacy, and fish fighting strength.
