The Machinist Edition continues with one of the most iconic reels in the Ross lineup: the Evolution LTX. Created to honor the skilled hands and minds behind every Ross reel, this special edition puts the manufacturing process front and center, leaving the details of how each reel is made visible in the final product.
Finished in raw Native Metal, the clear-anodized frame and spool leave visible tool paths and machining marks on display. Rather than polishing away the evidence of the manufacturing process, the Machinist Edition celebrates it—giving each reel a look that comes directly from the machines and people that shaped it.
Underneath that finish is the same award-winning Evolution LTX anglers know. Lightweight and exceptionally smooth, the LTX combines the feel of the original Evolution LT with a drag system more than four times stronger than its predecessor. From trout water to light saltwater, it has the range and performance that made the Evolution family an icon.
Designed, machined, anodized, assembled, and made in Montrose, Colorado, the Machinist Edition Evolution LTX is a look behind the curtain at Ross manufacturing—and a tribute to the machinists who have spent decades turning raw aluminum into reels built to fish.
