For 2011, we are introducing an all-new range of fast-action, all-graphite rods: the GVX series. These rods utilize the same fast-action tapers as our high performance Boron rods and are designed to be the finest 100% graphite rods you can own. They're very powerful, have a smooth, progressive action and feature the craftsmanship, quality and attention to detail that are synonymous the name Winston. GVX rods come in a variety of lengths and are available in weights 3 through 8 for use in the great majority of angling situations. GVX: the epitome of what a graphite rod should be.
