For sale here is a very special rod made by Glenn Brackett and Jerry Kustich. A Winston Rod Co. bamboo rod - 7'6, 3/2 for a 4 weight line. 2 7/8 oz. scripted weight - 3 3/4 oz. actual weight. Mint/new condition. Comes with Winston bag and tube. This is one of the last rods with a Brackett-era serial number (#3965). When Jerry, Glenn and Wayne left Winston they each got four serialized Winstons as "severance" ...the hitch was that they still needed to be wrapped and dipped. They've been lying around ("on the wall", Jerry says) for years, but they have recently finished them...the last ones to be serialized under the Brackett era at the Winston Rod Co. This script on this one actually reads "Built by Jerry Kustich and Glenn Brackett". Don't miss out on this opportunity to own a unique piece of history from one of the most respected bamboo rod making companies of all time!


before putting the rods into production, Winston ensures various quality controls and inspections, after which all the pieces of the rod are checked and signed by hand with the serial number and all the information of the rod;


What's the serial number?We don't publish serial numbers on any of our rods, new or used as it's very time-consuming. Please see "Is this a factory built rod?" if you're worried about authenticity.


Boron II-MX: Built with all of the characteristics of Boron II, with a little extra strength for those heavier flies needed in a typical saltwater condition. These Winston fly rods are based on the beautifully appointed Winston green blanks, with hand written serial numbers and rod identification. The serial number is written on each of the 4 sections of the rod and the nickel silver winding check finishes the Cigar and Full Wells premium cork handles. The nickel anodized aluminum reel seat is featherweight, but strong enough to handle any amount of torque you apply. Line weights 5-12 excluding 11 weight. Comes in 4 pieces. Priced $655-715.


Tom had never built a rod when he purchased R.L. Winston in 1973, but over the course of 45 years, he became an icon in the fly fishing industry. Quite simply, Tom worked tirelessly in pursuit of building the perfect rod. Tom Morgan Rodsmiths evolved from a dream to build a limited number of superior fly rods for appreciative anglers. 2ff7e9595c
