Super Light click-and-pawl reel with a cutting-edge look! Great match on light rods.
Ross Colorado Fly Reel — Product Overview
A modern take on the classic click-pawl. The new Colorado pairs featherweight feel with rock-solid engineering: an all-metal external clicker (with a machined San Juan Mountains silhouette), an even more open, beveled large-arbor spool for fast pickup, and a semi-caged frame for strength without bulk. A fully-machined Vesconite® bushing—built for harsh marine bearing use—delivers a lifetime of clean, reliable operation. From small creeks to broad rivers, Colorado brings iconic sound, minimalist control, and everyday fishability.
