I HAVE TWO WINSTONS I LOVE TO FISH…ONE IS A 9′- 6wt GLENN BRACKETT MADE UP FOR ME…HE CUSTOM FIT THE GRIP TO MY HAND…I CAN CAST IT ALL DAY WITH EASE. I LIKE THE 6wt FOR BIGGER DRIES AND WINDY CONDITIONS.

   MY NUMBER ONE DRY FLY ROD IS A WINSTON IM6 8′ 3wt  TOM MORGAN MADE UP FOR ME. TOM DEFLECTED SEVERAL BLANKS ON THE FLEX CHART AND CAME UP WITH A “3 1/2 wt” THAT CASTS LIKE A DREAM. I WAS LUCKY TO CATCH A BEAUTIFUL 23″ RAINBOW WITH THIS ROD ON THE RED ROCK RIVER ABOVE CLARK CANYON WHILE FISHING WITH VADNEY MURRAY. THE LITTLE 3wt. HANDLED IT! AND I HAVE JUST AS MUCH FUN WITH IT ON SMALLER STREAMS LIKE JACK CK. AND INDIAN CK.
