I broke my Winston LT 5 weight when I fell on the Rapid in June.
Broke the 4th and 5th sections. So, I gathered up the remains, stuffed them into the rod bag/tube, and forgot about it. Duh! I used a Sage 4 weight and an Orvis 6 weight completely forgetting about having the LT fixed. I finally remembered it, called Winston in Montana, and the sweet young lady confirmed that I was the original purchaser of the rod and I should send it to them with a check for 50 bucks to cover postage/handling/insurance. Such a deal! If they can not repair it (two new sections), they will replace it. Such a deal! Now I know why I spent so much money on the beautiful thing. It is by far the best fly rod I have ever fished with, capable of short, accurate casts, delicate presentations with dries, or wind stomping casts with streamers and a sink line. It has served me faithfully for more than six (??) years (whenever the LT series first came out) in Labrador, and Maine. Peter Charles recommended it to me. Dave |
