winston boron IIt rods

ROFFers:

I've been test-casting some 4 and 5 weight rods, and the Winston Boron
IIt (new this year) feels pretty sweet. I'm thinking about buying the
9-ft 4-piece 5-weight, but it's pricey. Do any of you have one or
know about the rod?

Thanks,

Almost. I have a 9/4 3pc Boron IIx that I love as much as all my other
Winstons. Presumably, they have slowed the IIx action down to create the IIt.
I think I'd try to cast both before deciding...

/daytripper (...or get both. It's much easier than choosing ;-)

The action of BIIt is nothing like the BIIx. It has an action similar to the
IM6/WT series but still has the reserve power to punch a long cast like the
BIIx or their LT series. Personally I think the 8½ foot version is a little
more versatile than the 9' 5wt. I first tried the rods this past November
and ordered the 8' 4wt on the spot. If you decide on either model, match it
with a Rio Selective Trout DT or a Wulf TT and you should be pleased.

If you go to www.winstonrods.com/forum there are multiple threads dealing
with this series.

I wonder how the new trout sage z axis (ZXL) to be announced at the
denver show will compare?
