2023 Winner Fly Reel (freshwater & saltwater): Evolution FS
Vote Now!The Ross Evolution FS hybridizes our favorite drag system features of the award-winning LTX and Animas model reels creating a design that offers a whole new level of drag strength for both fresh and saltwater conditions.
Designed to be the most robust reel in the Ross lineup, the FS (Fresh/Salt) is machined with a symmetrical semi-caged frame that provides unprecedented strength in the field. The stout, rounded radius frame not only creates additional durability, but eliminates the possibility of line slipping between the spool and frame. The easy to find drag knob is also simple to rotate, and specifically engineered to avoid catching fly line as unpredictable fish hastily head off to the horizon.
Available in 4 sizes from 4/5 all the way up to 9/10, the Evolution FS reel is designed to tackle just about everything from single, or two-handed freshwater conditions to epic saltwater challenges.
