We've paired the new Winston Air TH with one of the most popular Spey reels of all time, the Hardy 1921 Wide Spool Perfect. This is a premium rod and reel outfit for the advanced angler or someone looking for the best of the best, but it certainly would be good in any Spey caster's hands. We've packaged this outfit with a RIO Powerflex Ultra Shooting Line and an RIO Skagit Max Launch shooting head. The appropriately sized shooting head and running line is included with each package (see below for details on each package). The reel will come fully loaded with backing, and we've also included a RIO MOW Tip Kit as well as a RIO Steelhead/Salmon 6' Leader.
Pacific Fly Fishers is the closest fly shop to the famous Skagit, Skykomish and Stillaguamish rivers. We know Switch and Spey rods, lines and reels better than most fly shops because we use them all year long. We guarantee that your new Spey outfit is professionally selected and professionally rigged when it reaches your door. Put a fly on your leader and you'll be ready to fish with these completely packaged outfits. No more guessing and buying the wrong line sizes. We've taken all the guess work out of the equation.
If you would like to customize your package with a different line, different reel, etc, please let us know. We are happy to make substitutions and will adjust the price accordingly. Email, call, or indicate your substitution preferences in the comment box when placing your order online.

R.L. Winston Air TH Spey Rods
The New Winston Air TH series of rods are absolutely stunning. Redesigned in 2019, the new Air TH series rods utilize Winston's SuperSilica resin and Boron technology to create an unbelievably light, perfectly balanced, powerful rod with tons of feel. These rods load deep but have incredibly fast recovery. They can definitely handle heavy tips and big flies, but are an absolute dream with touch and go style casts and traditional or smaller flies.

Hardy 1921 Wide Spool Perfect 4" Reel
When it comes to Spey reels, there's nothing more classic then a Hardy Perfect, and the 4" balances the 7123-4 and 7133-4 perfectly. The Hardy 1921 Wide Spool Perfect 4" Reels feature a revolving line guard, a deep anodized two tone finish, a 1921 check mechanism, a wide spool, perfect for large Spey lines, and come in a soft leather, sheepskin lined Hardy reel pouch.

RIO Elite Skagit Max Launch
We've packaged the Air TH rods with the RIO Elite Skagit Max Launch shooting heads. These heads carry large flies and heavy sink tips better than ever before. The taper and weight distribution of RIO Elite Skagit Max Launch shooting heads transfers the energy from the head to the tip and through the fly to produce powerful casts with high line speed and tight loops. Skagit Max Launch heads have a low stretch core that provides a lot of sensitivity and feel from the fly to the angler. They cast amazingly on the Air Th rods, with a rear taper that helps load rods quickly and a compact length, these lines can be fished just about anywhere and in any situation. More info

RIO MOW Tip Kits
Included in the Winston Air TH premium Spey outfit is a RIO MOW tip kit that includes 6 different tips, from floating to 12.5' sink tips in either T-8 or T-11. For the 5 and 6 weight models we've paired them with the light MOW tip kits (T-8), and the 7 and 8 weight models will come with the Medium MOW tip kits (T-11). These tip kits are great because there's a tip in there for every situation. They come nicely organized in a RIO leader wallet that easily fits in most wading jacket pockets so you're always ready for any situation on the river. More info.

RIO Powerflex Ultra Shooting Line
RIO’s Powerflex Ultra Shooting Line is a great shooting line for Skagit and Scandi shooting heads. It feels like a traditional coating running line, but it shoots with the line speed of mono. The ultra slick coating floats high on the surface of the water to decrease drag, and maximize distance. Powerflex Ultra Shooting lines feature bulletproof welded loops on the back and front of the running line for quick rigging. RIO's Powerflex Ultra Shooting lines come in five different diameters and core strengths, for everything from a 2wt trout Spey, to a 15' 10wt king rod. More info.

Scientific Anglers Backing
Scientific Anglers' backing is very thin, highly durable and the colors are colorfast. We've been using it for years on everything from trout to billfish and haven't run into a single inconsistency. Your outfit will come with the perfect amount backing already loaded onto the reel and attached to your line. We only use the best knots to rig your setup. We use the Bimini Twist with a lock then sealed with glue to loop-to-loop connect your backing to your running line. We generally choose a backing color that contrasts your other lines. Let us know if you would prefer a certain color option for your backing. More info.

RIO Steelhead & Salmon Leader - 6-foot
RIO's Steelhead and Salmon Leaders are perfectly designed for anadromous species such as steelhead and salmon along with being able to turn over any streamer your rod can handle. Its clear, non-glare finish disappears in all water conditions. Its knotless taper has a thicker butt section and uses a slightly stiffer copolymer for abrasion-resistance and for turning over larger flies. The leader already comes with a perfection knot on the butt of the leader and will come in the package already attached to a sink-tip on your reel. Just add fly and go fishing! More info.
