John Norris has worked with fly anglers for more than 55 years, helping customers choose tackle for everything from small streams to larger rivers, reservoirs and travel fishing. A fly rod is a personal piece of equipment: action, line weight, length and the water being fished all influence whether it feels right in the hand. The Winston collection brings together Winston fly rods alongside a selection of the brand's premium sunglasses, giving anglers a focused place to explore the range.

The Winston range includes traditional double-handed fly rods designed for larger waters and spey casting, responsive single-handed fly rods built for versatile river and stillwater fishing, and specialist polarised sunglasses designed to reduce glare on the water. Choosing the right setup requires careful consideration of your fishing style, target species, and water conditions. For a wider selection of general tackle alternatives, explore our Fly Fishing Rods collection.

Range at a glance - Winston double-handed fly rods for anglers considering a two-handed setup on broad rivers. - Winston single-handed fly rods for general river and stillwater angling. - Winston polarised sunglasses for enhanced visual clarity on the water.

Our advice: Start with the water you fish most often. For a small river, rod length and line weight requirements will differ from those needed on a broad river or reservoir. If you are new to double-handed casting, talk to us about the techniques, line systems and venues you plan to use before choosing. For eyewear, consider how the frames sit under a cap, whether they work with your face shape, and whether the lens tint suits the light conditions you normally encounter. For complete eye protection and glare management across different environments, explore our Sunglasses collection.

Tackle care should form part of the decision. Dry a rod thoroughly before storing it in its protective tube, check the line guides periodically for wear, and rinse equipment after any saltwater use. Keep sunglasses in a protective case when not worn and clean lenses with an appropriate microfibre cloth rather than a jacket sleeve or rough towel. Follow each product's own care guidance for materials and warranty support to ensure long-term performance.
