{"id":4522182836260,"title":"Ross Evolution R Fly Reel","handle":"ross-evolution-r-fly-reel","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Ross Evolution R is a lightweight sealed-drag fly reel for 4wt to 8wt lines, with every model under 5.2 oz. Its large-arbor spool is shaped to wind line evenly across the face of the spool as you retrieve. The fully sealed drag pairs bonded carbon fluoropolymer and stainless steel discs, with very low start-up inertia to protect light tippet and a wide range of adjustment, set by a frame-integrated knob that is easy to turn even with gloves on. Ross designed it for freshwater, warmwater and saltwater fishing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eFully sealed 7-disc drag of bonded carbon fluoropolymer and stainless steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eVery low start-up inertia to protect light tippet\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eWide range of drag adjustment\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eFrame-integrated drag knob, easy to grip with gloves\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eAll models under 5.2 oz, fully machined from 6061-T6 aluminum alloy\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eMachined stainless steel internal components\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eCanvas phenolic handle on a 7075-T6 chromated aluminum post\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eType II anodized finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eQuick-release spool and convertible left- or right-hand retrieve\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eMade in Montrose, Colorado\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecs\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLine weights:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4wt to 8wt\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eArbor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Large, shaped to wind line evenly across the spool\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrag:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fully sealed 7-disc drag of bonded carbon fluoropolymer and stainless steel; frame-integrated drag knob\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ross\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModels and specs (3)\u003c\/strong\u003e ▼\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEvolution R 4\/5 - 4-5wt:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4.82 oz; 0.97\" width x 3.53\" diameter; 4-5wt; capacity WF4 + 100 yd or WF5 + 75 yd of backing; Pairs with a 4- or 5-weight rod.\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEvolution R 5\/6 - 5-6wt:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5.03 oz; 0.97\" width x 3.78\" diameter; 5-6wt; capacity WF5 + 115 yd or WF6 + 90 yd of backing; Matched to 5- and 6-weight lines.\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEvolution R 7\/8 - 7-8wt:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5.18 oz; 0.97\" width x 4.03\" diameter; 7-8wt; capacity WF7 + 180 yd or WF8 + 150 yd of backing; Sized for 7\/8-weight bass and streamer rods.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShop note:\u003c\/strong\u003e We'd pair the 4\/5 or 5\/6 with a trout rod in the same weight and the 7\/8 with a 7wt or 8wt for streamers, bass or light saltwater.

Its large-arbor spool is shaped to wind line evenly across the face of the spool as you retrieve. The fully sealed drag pairs bonded carbon fluoropolymer and stainless steel discs, with very low start-up inertia to protect light tippet and a wide range of adjustment, set by a frame-integrated knob that is easy to turn even with gloves on. Ross designed it for freshwater, warmwater and saltwater fishing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eFully sealed 7-disc drag of bonded carbon fluoropolymer and stainless steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eVery low start-up inertia to protect light tippet\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eWide range of drag adjustment\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eFrame-integrated drag knob, easy to grip with gloves\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eAll models under 5.2 oz, fully machined from 6061-T6 aluminum alloy\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eMachined stainless steel internal components\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eCanvas phenolic handle on a 7075-T6 chromated aluminum post\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eType II anodized finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eQuick-release spool and convertible left- or right-hand retrieve\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eMade in Montrose, Colorado\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecs\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLine weights:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4wt to 8wt\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eArbor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Large, shaped to wind line evenly across the spool\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrag:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fully sealed 7-disc drag of bonded carbon fluoropolymer and stainless steel; frame-integrated drag knob\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ross\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModels and specs (3)\u003c\/strong\u003e ▼\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEvolution R 4\/5 - 4-5wt:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4.82 oz; 0.97\" width x 3.53\" diameter; 4-5wt; capacity WF4 + 100 yd or WF5 + 75 yd of backing; Pairs with a 4- or 5-weight rod.\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEvolution R 5\/6 - 5-6wt:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5.03 oz; 0.97\" width x 3.78\" diameter; 5-6wt; capacity WF5 + 115 yd or WF6 + 90 yd of backing; Matched to 5- and 6-weight lines.\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEvolution R 7\/8 - 7-8wt:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5.18 oz; 0.97\" width x 4.03\" diameter; 7-8wt; capacity WF7 + 180 yd or WF8 + 150 yd of backing; Sized for 7\/8-weight bass and streamer rods.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShop note:\u003c\/strong\u003e We'd pair the 4\/5 or 5\/6 with a trout rod in the same weight and the 7\/8 with a 7wt or 8wt for streamers, bass or light saltwater.
