Ross Reels Evolution FS Limited Edition Fly Reel – Chartreuse

Power Refined for Water That Pulls Back

The Ross Evolution FS Limited Edition – Chartreuse is built for anglers who demand uncompromising drag power, structural integrity, and confidence across both freshwater and saltwater arenas. FS—Fresh/Salt—marks the most robust reel Ross has ever engineered, blending the award-winning drag heritage of the LTX and Animas into a platform designed for when everything runs hard and fast.

Strength You Can Feel, Control You Can Trust

Machined around a symmetrical semi-caged frame, the Evolution FS delivers exceptional rigidity while eliminating any chance of line slipping between spool and frame. The stout, rounded radius frame increases durability under load, while the large, ergonomic drag knob is intentionally shaped to stay clear of fly line when fish surge unpredictably toward the horizon.

Drag Built for Heat, Speed, and Distance

At the core is Ross’s innovative stacked drag system, built with proven high-temperature-resistant materials to maintain smooth, consistent pressure in both tropical salt and demanding freshwater conditions. A high-capacity, large-arbor spool ensures fast retrieval, reduced line memory, and the backing space required for powerful fish that don’t plan on stopping.
