"Incredible" is the only way to describe this new series; they are arguably some of the finest fly rods ever made. Utilizing higher modulus third generation Boron/Graphite composite, Boron IIIx rods offer unprecedented performance. They have an even broader casting range that lets anglers control line speed for long casts directly into the wind or gentle presentations up close. They feature a stronger butt section for lifting more line off the water. They are highly responsive and very powerful, yet lightweight with great feel and liveliness. In the words of our technical advisor Joan Wulff, "Boron IIIx rods are an amazing combination of speed, power and Winston smoothness."

 

Boron IIIx rods come with Winston's new, striking lightweight graphite rod tube.

 

All of the new BIIIx 4 weights featureed here.....8', 8'6", 9' and 10'. All have cigar grips and the new Featherlight Anodized Aluminum reel seats. Ideal rods when delicacy is needed for spring creeks and other technical waters, yet with reserve power capable of generating faster line speeds and handling windy situations and larger rivers. Broad casting range and an excellent all-around rod...exceptional versatility for a 4-weight.

 

All of the new BIIIx rods from Winston are featured here at MRO!

 

On the flats, blue water or anywhere in between, your first shot is always the best shot. But, as experienced saltwater anglers know, sometimes that first shot means the bonefish you didn’t see until it was right here, and other times it’s an upwind bait ball way out there.

Introducing the new Xi3 Series saltwater fly rods. Through their exclusive SaltH2O Technology, SAGE Xi3 rods provide a groundbreaking level of torque and torsion resistance for superior tracking and less wasted energy at all distances. SaltH2O’s unique layer interface and proprietary resin also combine for maximum strength—even in high heat environments—and significantly less weight.

This increased strength comes in handy when you need to lean on powerful saltwater bruisers. Just as importantly, it gives you the backbone to pick up 60 or 70 feet of line on desperate second (and last) chance casts. 

Sage's G5 construction adds improved line feel for easier, more intuitive casting, and specialized saltwater-specific components complete the package. In other words, the new Xi3 is everything you need to make that first shot count.

After years of development and input from the likes of Lefty Kreh and Flip Pallot, Ted Juracsic introduced the Tibor reels and they truly set a new standard in fly reel technology. The spool's large arbor design signifigantly enhances the rate of line retrieval which is critical when you're trying to control speedsters like bonefish, bonito or wahoo. As with all of Ted's reels, the drag system is absolutely flawless and has withstood the test of the worlds most demanding game fish. If you were to own only one fly reel, this is the series to have.

* The Everglades reel is suited for 7-9wt lines and weighs 8.5 ounces

* available here in Gold or Black but also available in custom colors.
