Description of the R. L. Winston Ascent Rod - Rods: |
The new Ascent series is the ideal way for entry level or intermediate anglers to become part of the Winston family. While these are the least expensive fly rods we sell, they offer exceptional quality and performance for the price. Thanks to a smooth, very fast action, all five are easy to cast and a delight to fish with; whether you’re going after trout or bonefish, smallmouth bass or steelhead, there’s an Ascent to meet your needs. Designed in Twin Bridges, Montana, these four-piece rods have a beautiful champagne/russet metallic finish and quality reel seat components. Like all Winstons, Ascent rods have an Unconditional Lifetime Guarantee.
3-WEIGHT
An 8' rod that is perfect for dry fly and nymph fishing on smaller streams. It has a quick, snappy action yet is delicate enough to protect light tippets.
4-WEIGHT
A true Western-style 4-weight. Whether you're wading or fishing from a driftboat, this is a great dry fly or nymph rod that can handle some wind.
5-WEIGHT
A 5-weight trout rod that is a great “all around” choice for the entry level angler. From dry flies to streamers, this smooth, powerful rod can handle it all.
6-WEIGHT
The perfect rod for larger water and bigger fish. Ideal for casting big hoppers, large weighted stonefly nymphs, double bunny streamers, poppers, you name it.
8-WEIGHT
Outfitted with a fighting butt, this is a smooth casting, very powerful rod that you can use to fish for a variety of fresh and saltwater species, including steelhead, bonefish, stripers, largemouth bass and more.

Pros: This is a great rod for the price. I use it in the small rivers in Western N. C. Casts well in the short distance. I use a 3 wt DT line to roll cast under the trees.
