Winston kairos fly rod review.
Over the years i ve gone out on a limb on only very few occasions stating that a particular fly rod leaves little to nothing to be desired.
The 9 5 weight winston launched two new rods this year the kairos and the nimbus and both entered the market well softly.
I first cast it with a rio creek wf3f line assuming that it would fold under the line s heavy head.
The reel seat is complemented by a high quality wood insert.

Let s get straight to it.

The winston nimbus was pleasant to cast not too heavy and managed to maintain good power control and accuracy at all distances.
Felt good at mid distances too.
In the pure series winston does a fine job with short graphite fly rods.
Winston nimbus 9 5wt fly rod.
Winston rods are generally my go to for dry flies and the boron iiix has worked its way to the front of my quiver when i need a do it all 9 5wt but the xp is a very close second.
In my neck of the woods the mayflies and caddis are out in huge numbers and i haven t thrown anything smaller than a 14 in a while.
In fact the tip is stiff enough to give me pause about fishing anything smaller than 5x on the kairos.
You can depend on redington 24 7 just like we do.
Winston boron iiix fly rod i don t really care for fast action rods even though i understand that they do serve a purpose.

I and most everyone else who likes fishing winston rods enjoy fishing small flies on light tippet.
Performance at 60 feet.
The nimbus has a classic looking reel seat similar but a little less pretty than other winston rods.
The balance and swing of the pure 7 3 weight are lovely.
The rod boasts a fairly amped lower half and has a deceptively low swing weight.
Winston is in the game for the long haul and you could not be disappointed in any winston fly rod from the lightest 3 wt to a hefty saltwater stick they are superb fly rods.
The winston boron iiix is one of those rods.
The air stands out from that pack impressively so.
My overall impression of the nimbus as well as winston s previous two all graphite offerings is that it is the leaner and meaner cousin of the well tempered boron family of rods.
