Winston Ascent

What they say:  Offering exceptional performance and quality for the price, our Ascent rods are a great way for entry-level or intermediate anglers to become part of the Winston family.  These 4-piece rods have a smooth, faster action and are easy to cast.  Four different rods are available for trout fishing, and the 8-weight is perfect for bonefishing, steelhead and big largemouth bass.  Ascent rods feature a champagne/russet metallic finish, beautiful reel seat components and an Unconditional Lifetime Guarantee.

What we say:  For under two hundred dollars you can’t go wrong.  Not only are you getting a Winston for that price but you are also getting the lifetime warranty and the quality that goes into every rod that Winston sends out the door.  The Ascent and Vapor series go through the same inspection process as Winston’s higher end rods.
