Winston Air 2 TH Spey Rods - FREE FLY LINE - NEW for 2026

Winston has been knocking it out of the park the last few years.  They have the best lineup of rods they've ever built, and the addition of Air 2 TH is a HUGE cherry on top.  I've had the pleasure of fishing these rods a ton this fall and they are absolutely spectacular!  Ultralight with unparalleled hand-to-line feel.  Slim grips. Great size run to cover everything from smaller one salt steelhead on up to chinook.  This may very well end up being one of the best series of Spey rods ever built.

INCREDIBLY SMOOTH TWO-HAND PERFORMANCE - Made in USA

The new AIR 2 TH combines our award-winning AIR 2 material platform and purpose-built tapers for unmatched loop control, power, and two-hand casting efficiency. Featuring our NanoParticle graphite and resin system, these two-handers are lighter, incredibly durable, and deliver the deep loading Winston feel anglers have come to love. Every model has been precisely engineered for exceptional loop control, power, and efficiency to deliver effortless casts and tight loops with minimal effort. Whether you're swinging up summer steelhead on the Deschutes, searching for Atlantic Salmon on the Restigouche, or fighting Kings up in Alaska, the AIR 2 TH redefines modern two-hand performance.

NANOPARTICLE TECHNOLOGY

NanoParticle technology enhances the classic Winston two-handed action, improving lightness, durability, and strength while delivering deep, effortless loading at various spey fishing distances. This advanced material platform gives anglers the perfect combination of power and feel, making long days on the river more efficient, more precise, and more enjoyable.

INTUITIVE GRAIN WINDOWS

AIR 2 TH rods are precision-tuned with consistent deflection profiles, delivering exact grain windows for any style — Skagit, Scandi, mid-belly, and long-belly. True to their published line weight, they load smoothly, recover fast, and give you rock-solid control over every cast.

SLIMMER GRIPS TO ENHANCE FEEL

Our slim universal top and bottom grips bring you closer to the blank for enhanced sensitivity and connection. The refined shape encourages a relaxed hand position, improving control, comfort, and pace—whether you're powering a Skagit head with a sink tip, or launching a snake roll. Increased feel in the butt section translates every movement, so each cast becomes more instinctive, precise, and effortless.

LENGTHS FOR VARIOUS SPEY APPLICATIONS

From technical trout spey, to all-water steelhead, and king salmon power, our spey rod lengths are purpose- built for specific two-handed casting applications. Every length is tuned for its intended purpose, blending our proprietary materials and tapers to give you the perfect tool for the water you fish most.

DESIGNED ON THE WATER

Over the course of developing the new AIR 2 TH, Winston collaborated with some of the world's most renowned two-hand anglers, including Pro Advisor Brian Silvey. After two-years in development, the AIR 2 TH stands as our most extensively tested two-hand rod to date. Stay tuned for upcoming blogs and interviews exploring its design journey.
