The Evolution is a high-end hybrid large arbor fly reel that is a machining masterpiece, and the lightest in its class. This series was designed for those anglers who appreciate both art and function. The cosmetic innovation and precision workmanship of the Evolution series is only surpassed by its drag system which is precise and sensitive - capable of protecting the lightest tippets even when battling world-class fish. To guarantee the level of dependability consumers have come to expect from all Ross products, we have designed a drag system for the Evolution series that has triple redundancy; providing three backup systems which guarantees dependability under the most demanding conditions. The spoke designed frame and extensive spool ventilation make this series incredibly lightweight, yet the Evolution is built strong to endure a lifetime of flawless performance. Each reel in this series is designed with a specific diameter and width to maximize the properties of drag consistency and quick line retrieval. The Evolution series is truly art in motion, and will satisfy the demands of the most discriminating angler.
