By Abigail Scott

I'm Abigail Scott, an author, adventurer, and mother of three. When I'm not navigating the beautiful chaos of motherhood, you can find me tackling the turbulent waters as a professional whitewater kayaker or scaling impressive rock faces as a climbing guide. The rush of adrenaline, whether from kayaking or climbing, is a feeling I cherish deeply. But the thrill doesn't stop there; I capture the breathtaking allure of nature through my lens as a professional photographer. And when I'm not submerged in the wild, my software engineering skills amplify my outdoor pursuits, allowing me to harness technology in unique ways. Through my writings, whether articles or blog posts, I share not just my adventures but my heart, hoping to spark a flame of inspiration in others to break boundaries and experience the world's wonders.

Description

Why We Like The Alpha + Fly Rod

The Alpha+ fly rod from R.L. Winston Rod Co. is a truly formidable weapon designed specifically for catching aggressive fish such as carnivorous trout, musky, tarpon, dorado, and bass. With its stiff blank and lightning-fast action, this rod excels in gusty conditions, allowing us to effortlessly cast heavy lines and flies and gain the upper hand when battling fish near cutbanks and brush.

Not only that, but each Alpha rod in the series comes with a suggested grain window, similar to spey or switch rods, making it much easier for us to choose the perfect fly line for our chosen rod.

Here are some key features of the Alpha+ fly rod:

Fast-action fly rod designed to effortlessly cast heavy rigs to predatory fish
Reinforced ferrule increases lifting power, giving us an advantage during intense fights with fish
Suggested grain window takes the guesswork out of selecting the most suitable line for the rod
Hard chromed oversized snake guides enable smooth fly line shooting
Anodized reel seat with dual locking rings ensures a secure attachment of the reel
Graphite tube and embroidered sock provide excellent protection for the fly rod during travel
