Ross San Miguel Fly Reel 5/6 / Black

By A Mystery Man Writer

The return of an icon. Since Ross Reels started in 1973, there has been one model that epitomizes what a Ross Reel is: the San Miguel. It defined the ultimate in class and finesse, and now, over two decades since it was first launched, the classic returns. Meticulously designed in our Colorado factory, the new San Miguel blends modern machining and materials with all of the elements that made the original iconic.

The Ross Evolution FS hybridizes our favorite drag system features of the award-winning LTX and Animas model reels creating a design that offers a whole new level of drag strength for both fresh and saltwater conditions. Designed to be the most robust reel in the Ross lineup, the FS (Fresh/Salt) is machined with a symmetrical semi-caged frame that provides unprecedented strength in the field.

Ross Reels' Evolution R Salt reel was designed with the rigors of fly fishing in the salt in mind. A 16-disk, sealed-drag system incorporating stainless steel and carbon fluoropolymer produces 30 pounds of fish-stopping drag pressure. Not one, but two, counterbalances on the spool reduce mass and eliminate vibration. An exceedingly strong frame, made of Anodized II aluminum, performs in the most challenging saltwater environments.
