Ross Animas Fly Reel
Named after the Animas River just upstream from Ross Reels’ home in Montrose, Colorado, the Ross Animas Fly Reel is designed for anglers who demand dependable performance across a wide range of conditions. Built with precision machining and a distinctive structural profile, the Animas balances lightweight design with impressive strength and durability.
The fully machined frame and spool feature intricate porting and a subtle Colorado mountain silhouette, giving the reel a refined look while maintaining rigidity under load. Its bell-shaped, ultra-large arbor allows for rapid line pickup and helps reduce line memory, making it well suited to both technical trout fishing and aggressive streamer work.
An upgraded composite open-faced drag system provides smooth, consistent stopping power in both freshwater and saltwater environments. The anodised aluminium drag knob improves durability, while the low-profile, two-tone design enhances control on the water. A lightweight canvas phenolic handle offers a secure grip, even when wet, ensuring confident retrieves in challenging conditions.
Designed for long-term reliability, the Ross Animas Fly Reel includes a maintenance-free spool release and corrosion-resistant construction. Smaller sizes are ideal for everyday trout setups, while larger sizes pair seamlessly with streamer rods and heavier lines.
