If you're a fan of the original San Miguel fly reels, introduced over 20 years ago, then you're in luck...because it's back! And with a bang and better than ever. This also convinced the jury at the IFTD, who awarded the design classic with the coveted "Best Of Show" award. The new San Miguel is not only something for tradition-conscious fly fishers. For in addition to refining the classic design, the product developers at Ross Reels have made some significant modernisations that catapult the iconic reel model into today.
The new San Miguel was carefully developed in the Ross Reels factory in Colorado and combines modern workmanship and materials with all the elements that made the original an icon. The polished, high-gloss black finish on a solid frame, the wide-range adjustable sealed brake system and the famous “flower petal” porting are back. This new version also debuts modernized features such as a canvas micarta handle, a material used in high-end custom knives to improve grip when wet. The precision sealed drag system consists of a carbon / stainless steel stack-up, yielding powerful yet smooth resistance. The large-arbor spool is accentuated by a machined stainless steel push-button release that looks as good as it performs. This integration of classic and new features make this reel a worthy heir to the iconic San Miguel name.
For trout fishing enthusiasts and fly fishers who have an awareness of tradition AND modernity, the Ross Reels San Miguel is a definite buy from us! A beautiful, timeless fly reel with first-class workmanship - just as we have come to expect from Ross Reels.
