Winston PURE 2 Rod Review & Test Fishing

[@keng9064]

Very informative review Joe. Good job talking dry fly fishing Really enjoyed this video

[@redsflyshop]

Thanks 👍

[@esjovold6572]

My favourite rod is still my Winston B3X after all the years I’ve had it. Would love to try one of these.

[@redsflyshop]

Oh that is a wonderful rod, I remember the year that came out. Super rod, the PURE 2 will actually perform quite similar with a much lighter swing weight. It won't handle heavy rigs quite as well but we would be splitting hairs.

[@creedm3040]

Awesome video! Kind of sounds like the old WT ? Beautiful rods for sure. Best!

[@redsflyshop]

Thanks Creed! They are super. Just a subtle improvement to the OG Pure that we love so much.

[@paharding]

Another great review! How does the Pure 2 - 8’3” 5 wt rod compare to the Scott G Series for Spring Stream fly fishing?

[@redsflyshop]

Not sure in comparing it to Scott, those are wonderful rods but I'm not experienced with those beyond playing lawn darts with them. The way I hear people talk however, the application sounds identical. Touchy rods for mending and casting fairly delicate flies.

[@bingbongID]

Are the pure 2s such a drastic improvement over the pure for dry fly only? The og pure has been the best dry fly rod I've ever used, thanks!

[@redsflyshop]

It's subtle, not life changing. Nobody needs to run out and replace a fine rod thinking its the "best new thing ever", but if somebody was starting fresh and looking for a fine rod for accurate, delicate casts with the ability to mend dry flies without sinking them... this is a super choice.

Wow! I’ve known you for many years and I didn’t know you had a daughter, in college, to boot! 😳

[@redsflyshop]

Ha she is great, never took to fishing as much as my boys. Likes deer hunting, prefers skiing.

I've try the PURE 9' #4 in 2019 and for me it's not a medium action, more a medium fast and really heavy in hand. And the paradigm from T&T is really soft. When winston create the new pure 2 i was thinking they changing action for more soft action but no... That's more stiff...

[@redsflyshop]

Thank you for the feedback, while I can't necessarily agree with everything there - it's important that people provide their input here so thanks for sharing. It's valuable. Sounds like you're happy with the T&T Paradigm. That's also a sweetheart of a rod.

[@ryanbeebout7676]

Im sure its a great rod but i might just pick up a discounted pure1 which also seems great especially for a quintessential trout bum.

[@redsflyshop]

Oh yea if you can get the OG Pure that's a super buy and a super rod.

[@ronpenn3751]

Too much selling.

[@redsflyshop]

Ha ok fair enough, well we are a fly shop and sell fly rods. We try to mix product endorsements with some fishing content as best we can. Thanks for watching anyway!
