Help identifying a Winston rod

[Lawdog47]

I have a 7'9" 5 pc 3wt Winston rod that I built, have used and loved for several years. My son and I were fishing for brookies and and the 4th section broke when he was casting. I was behind him watching and witnessed the entire affair. After reassuring him he did nothing wrong and he will make it to his 17th birthday we shared a rod for the remainder of the day. The trouble now is that I no longer have any paperwork from the purchase of the blank. I believe it was purchased in 1995-1996. The blank is green in color with ferrules pictured. Any help with identifying the model would be appreciated before I contact Winston to seek a replacement section.

Thanks

I would be surprised if they made more than one rod as a 7'9" 5pc 3wt in 1995-1996. I would just call Winston's service/repair department and explain the situation.

Sounds like an LT, but tedshuck is right, it's pretty unliky they made more than one 5 pc 7'9" 5 wt in the 90's. Call the service folks and ask.

I would agree with it being an LT.
It's a 5pc rod.
It has spigot ferrules.
The LT came out in 1996.

I have a 3 wt. 5 piece LT Winston, but is an 8'3" rod.......not 7'9"
I think mine was from the late 90 's. It is a factory rod.

It was a few years back I fell off a log and snapped my Winston LT 5pc 3wt rod right at the top of the cork. I also had no paperwork. I called the fine folks at Winston to look into a repair and was told to send it in. When I explained that I damaged the rod through my own carelessness and that I had no paper, I was told that 'all Winston rods are guaranteed, regardless'. A few weeks later I got the rod back fully restored for just the cost of postage. This was a few years back, prior to the bamboo folks splitting off. I hope you get a similar response, the 3wt LT is one sweet little rod.
