Our staff choice for a big fish fly reel in the Ross fly reels line up is the Momentum LT. This is the premier Ross fly reel that we grab on the way out the door for our steelhead, salmon, tarpon, trevalley, and Sea Lion fishing (just kidding, these cute guys are protected under the Endangered Species Act). Point is, a Ross Momentum fly reel will perform for us when (how do you like that for confidence in a series of fly reels) we hook a hot fish. The Ross Momentum LT fly reel is heavy duty from the machined frame to the high-tech drag mechanism. We match Ross Momentum LT fly reels to rods from 7-wt and up. The Momentum LT fly reel series is also an excellent choice for Spey fishing, and the larger Momentum LT fly reels will accommodate Skagit Compact fly lines as big as they make ‘em.

The Ross CLA fly reel is our staff choice for versatility and price intersection. Consider that the Ross CLA fly reels are offered in sizes from 3.0” to 4.5” spool diameters, these fly reels are suitable for little tiny panfish or mountain trout situations on one hand and are also just right for the heaviest, bulkiest Spey fly lines in the 10-12 wt range. We typically choose #5, #6, or #7 CLA fly reels for our Spey fishing; the #5 and #6 CLA fly reels are spot-on for our shooting head and integrated shooting head fishing for salmon and stripers, and when we get brave and go offshore to fish for tuna and shark, we grab a #7 CLA and stuff it full of backing and our line of choice.

Ross fly reels offer a lifetime warranty.
