R.L.Winston Boron IIx
Introduced last year, Boron IIx rods have redefined the fast-action category. Featuring second-generation boron/graphite composite, they're powerful, responsive, very accurate and have the widest casting range in the Winston line. Imagine a rod that loads easily for delicate presentations up close, yet can make very long casts of 100 feet. Until the Boron IIx series, this was unheard of in a fast-action rod. They're also close to an ounce lighter than any comparable weight models on the market; all unnecessary weight has been eliminated from the ferrules, and the rods are all available with a graphite reel seat. Fast-action, incredible casting range and incomparable Winston quality. We urge you to cast a Boron IIx today.
