Ross Reels Evolution FS Fly Reel matte platinum
The multiple award-winning Ross Evolution FS is the most robust reel in the Ross lineup, designed not only to handle all imaginable scenarios with single-handed or double-handed rods in freshwater but also to accompany you faithfully on epic saltwater challenges. The FS (or 'Fresh/Salt') combines the most popular braking systems of the award-winning LTX and Animas models in a design that offers a whole new level of braking strength for both freshwater and saltwater conditions!
The Fresh/Salt reel by Ross Reels features a symmetrical half-cage frame that delivers unparalleled stability during use. Its robust frame with a rounded radius not only ensures additional durability but also prevents the line from slipping between the spool and the frame – a crucial feature when fishing for salmon with mono running lines! The extremely grippy drag knob is easy to adjust and has been specifically designed to prevent fly lines from tangling when powerful fish make a run for the horizon. Made from high-quality 6061-T6 aluminum, this reel offers an excellent strength-to-weight ratio, regardless of the line class. The anodized aluminum construction ensures increased durability and corrosion resistance, making it ideal for use in tropical saltwater environments or along the home coast when fishing for sea trout.
In short: The Evolution FS reel from Ross is available in various sizes and is suitable for almost everything you want to experience with a fly rod. Whether fishing on your local trout stream, a salmon river, or from a skiff in the tropics, the Ross Reels Fresh/Salt allows you to make no compromises and ensures you are perfectly equipped!
