The winston nimbus was pleasant to cast not too heavy and managed to maintain good power control and accuracy at all distances.
The balance and swing of the pure 7 3 weight are lovely.

In the pure series winston does a fine job with short graphite fly rods.
You can depend on redington 24 7 just like we do.
My overall impression of the nimbus as well as winston s previous two all graphite offerings is that it is the leaner and meaner cousin of the well tempered boron family of rods.
I and most everyone else who likes fishing winston rods enjoy fishing small flies on light tippet.
In fact the tip is stiff enough to give me pause about fishing anything smaller than 5x on the kairos.
Moving up the rod we see typical winston style.
Winston rods are generally my go to for dry flies and the boron iiix has worked its way to the front of my quiver when i need a do it all 9 5wt but the xp is a very close second.
