Ross Reels

Designed, Machined, and Assembled in Montrose, Colorado

Ross has been building fly reels in the United States for close to fifty years, and every reel in this collection is designed, machined, and assembled in Montrose, Colorado from bar stock aluminum. That is rare at any price these days. We carry the whole lineup of Ross reels, and we stock a spare spool for every model too, so you can carry a second line without buying a second reel.

  • Evolution LTX: the flagship trout reel, ultralight with a lot of drag for its weight.
  • Evolution R: a fully sealed drag for bigger freshwater fish, plus the Evolution R Salt built for the flats.
  • Evolution FS: a sealed drag reel built for saltwater and big freshwater fish.
  • Animas: a machined all around trout reel that does more than its price suggests.
  • Colorado: a lightweight click pawl reel for light lines and small water.
  • Cimarron: Ross's value machined reels, in the standard Cimarron, the lighter Cimarron LT, and the click pawl Cimarron Creek.
  • San Miguel: Ross's classic styled reel for anglers who want something a little different on the rod.

Matching a reel to a rod comes down to balance and line capacity. Call us at 406-728-7766, tell us what rod you are fishing, and we will point you to the right size and the right line to go with it. We are a full service Montana fly shop and a real angler answers the phone.
