Winston Tom Morgan Favorite Fly Rod
Tom Morgan was the owner and rod designer at Winston from 1973 to 1991. Tom grew up fishing the spring creeks of Montana for wary brown trout, where delicate casts and perfect presentations were mandatory. In 1989, he designed a 4-weight for those exact conditions and named it the “Tom Morgan Favorite.” Over 30 years later, we still offer this exceptional rod, as it reflects Tom’s belief that “a great fly rod is always a great fly rod.” TMF rods come with a powder coated aluminum tube and logo rod sock.

I’ve used this rod for several seasons on Montana streams. It casts smoothly and responds well to light flies. The sensitivity is excellent for reading trout behavior. The powder coating holds up well in outdoor conditions.
Alan Butler –
A true classic. The balance and action match the conditions I fish in. It’s not the most powerful rod, but it’s perfect for subtle presentations in clear water. The rod sock adds a nice touch.

After years of using various rods, this one stands out for its precision. I use it in spring creeks where trout are cautious. The casting feel is natural and responsive.
