R.L. Winston Nimbus Spey - New for 2018

New for 2018, R.L Winston Provides us with two new offerings in the spey category, Kairos and the Nimbus. This post will focus on the Nimbus.

The all-graphite Nimbus has a mid tip flex taper designed for comfortable smooth casting. Finished in a Big Sky Blue Color it certainly stands out as a departure for the usual Winston Green. Available in three sizes: 6119, 7129, and 8139

Presenting the Nimbus from Winston - a completely new design inspired by our premium Boron rods. Using the same multi modulus graphite as our Boron rods along with versatile mid-tip flex tapers, the Nimbus provides all the core attributes and qualities one has come to expect from a Winston. Incredibly smooth casting, the Nimbus' progressive action delivers unmatched all-graphite performance, with both the power and finesse to fish even the most challenging situations. Offered in a full range of freshwater, saltwater, and spey models, Nimbus rods are finished in a beautiful Big Sky Blue color and sport premium componentry and our renowned handwritten rod inscription. Proudly designed and produced in Twin Bridges, Montana, the Nimbus is simply the best all-graphite fly rod on the market.
