Ross Evolution LT Crimson Red Fly Reel — Made in USA
The Evolution series defined the modern trout reel, and the LTX is the version that took the platform to the next level. The Crimson Red edition is the one we hang on the wall first when a new shipment shows up. Made right here in Montrose, the Evolution LTX Liberty pairs the original Evolution LT's feel with the Evolution R's stopping power in a meticulously designed, lightweight package.
The ultra-smooth drag that built the Evolution's reputation has a long and revered history, and the engineering team took that design to the next level. The drag that debuted with the LTX is over four times stronger than its predecessors, while retaining the sound and feel that helped make the Evolution an icon. That means it performs as a perfect trout reel for the Gunnison and the Uncompahgre, and it has the power to take on saltwater game fish like redfish, bonefish, and snook when you head south.
The large arbor spool includes an innovative line channel for cleanly hiding arbor knots when winding on backing. The Ross signature bell-shaped arbor adds strength while helping to self-level the fly line across the face of the spool as it is retrieved.
The LTX runs a handle machined from canvas phenolic rod, another Ross innovation, which reduces weight, adds durability, and increases grip when wet. These features converge in a package that is as at home on the flats as it is on the shores of a Western Slope river.
The Crimson Red edition is a limited release and is not eligible for promotional pricing.
