The Ross Animas in Matte Merlot wraps the beloved guide-favorite all-arounder in a deep, wine-dark finish you will not see coming out of anyone else's shop. It is a sealed-drag reel that handles trout today and steps up to bigger water tomorrow.
Its composite disc drag with a stainless steel interface delivers the smooth, dependable stopping power Animas owners have trusted for years, fresh or salt. Machined in Montrose, Colorado just a few blocks from our shop, the Matte Merlot colorway is finished with the signature Colorado mountain silhouette on the frame.
