Ross Animas Reel

The Animas has long been a guide favorite, and Ross's redesign keeps what worked while adding a new machined frame and spool that are strong and good-looking. A machined silhouette of the Colorado mountains in Ross's backyard decorates the frame. The improved composite drag adds power, and a trouble-free spool release means it's ready for fresh or salt with zero maintenance.
