The LT series is perfect for travel, touring and hiking, and the performance of these rods is unmatched. Ive cast the biix 6wt a few times and always wanted one but didnt really have need for it, imo it is probably the best rod in that series, great med/fast rod for all around trout fishing. If you’re a fan of our older IM6 and WT models, the 5 weight PURE will provide the classic Winston feel in a taper that adds more accuracy and line control. Weight is really about 3-3/4, can handle 3 or 4 weight lines. The 8.5' 5wt IM6 Winston Fly rod A classic that's still available for sale (albeit at an amazingly inflated price), the IM6 Winston fly rods are testament to Tom Morgan's influence on their design light tipped and very smooth, they are superb all-around trout rods, and what's more, they're just plain fun to cast. My IM6 4 weight is the TMF model, which is the best dry fly rod Ive ever thrown, bar none. For short to medium casts and difficult stream situations, the AF79B3 is the perfect blank. These blanks have the ability to generate high line speeds for distance casts, yet still load effortlessly for short range, delicate casts. Smooth, moderate actions in stronger, lighter blanks. If there are gusty winds, youll need more rod. IM6 is still the graphite preferred by many fishermen. I have two biixs a 94wt and 95wt and two biimxs in a 96' 5wt and 96' 6wt. Weakness: Less effective than other Winston rods for streamers. These medium fast and progressive action rods are smooth casting and powerful, yet very forgiving - and are an incredible value.

This attention to detail produces a rod that is smooth casting and delicately delivers a fly with incredible accuracy. Dave, it depends on what you want it to do. Temple Fork Outfitters Lefty Kreh Professional Series II Fly Rod. The LT series features our internal spigot ferrule system, which ensures that the taper and internal diameter of each section perfectly matches the adjoining section. To give my opinion on the OP question, I own both of the green sticks that you mentioned (as well as Winston IM6, LT, WT, BL5, XTR, B2X, B2T, B2MX, B3x and B3LS). A good bit faster than the smaller B3Xs, or at least it feels that way to me.

This medium-fast action series is perfect for the discriminating angler who demands a compact design, but is unwilling to compromise on action or feel. The B3X 9'6wt is a phenomenal streamer rod. THE LT was first introduced in 1996, and continues to set the standard for multi-section rod design.
