Comments:

Roll Cast very well.

Another Winton master piece.

Beautiful rod that performed its function to my fullest satisfaction.

A rod that I can roll cast 30, maybe 40 feet with ease.

I fish ultra-lite, but prefer a longer rod.

2 Peice 8' #3 weight rods are hard to find unless you custom built them

Most of the #3 bamboo rods are only 7' or 7'6" long.

So when I saw this Winston on eBay, I grabbed it.
Marvellous rod that fished and cast well.
