Winston popularized the use of Boron in high-end fly rods, and the new Boron II MX Series is sure to be a hit with saltwater anglers, offering maximum power, distance and fish-fighting integrity. The rods feature fast actions designed to help anglers make difficult presentations at 100 feet or more. In addition to being tough, Boron II MX Series rods are light and responsive, helping casters make finesse presentations to bonefish, permit and tarpon. They'll be the weapon of choice for tough-casting sinking lines in big water and high wind.

Available in line weights 5 through 12, the four-piece rods feature top-notch hardware; a newly designed, double-locking, all-metal reel seat; and a 1½-inch fighting butt extension — all covered by Winston's lifetime warranty. $655-$715 www.winstonrods.com
