Overview

The Animas by Ross Reels has been considered by many to be one of the best fly-fishing reels ever made, which is why the number of defective reels can be counted on one hand out of the 80,000 sold. It is because of this, the Animas reel is the top choice for many guides and professional anglers. Due to the reel's high durability and versatility, it is an absolute workhorse that will prove its worth for many generations. To start, Ross added a canvas phenolic handle which allows for more grip when the reel gets wet. Next, Ross added a composite drag system made with stainless steel components, meaning it's fail-proof. Still not impressed? Ross designed the reel with overlaid spokes, to allow the fly line and backing to dry quickly when you are on the water. The versatility of the Animas reel is highlighted by the reel's weight options, offered in 4/5WT, 5/6WT, and 7/8WT. This ultra-large arbor reel is perfect for freshwater and saltwater use. It doesn't matter if you're fishing for trout or bonefish the Anima's ironclad design won't let you down. The reel is offered in two color variations, matte black, and platinum with a machine engraved "œC" to proudly represent the great state of Colorado while paying homage to the genius engineers who brought you this reel.Read More +
