A modern classic reborn, the Ross Animas Fly Reel – Limited Edition blends precision engineering with timeless design. Celebrated by guides and anglers alike, the 2019 Animas takes everything that made the original a standout and amplifies it with innovative updates, making this a must-have for collectors and serious anglers alike.
Now featuring a fully re-engineered frame and spool geometry, the Animas showcases eye-catching machining with enhanced strength, decreased weight, and a bold two-tone aluminum finish. The bell-shaped, ultra-large arbor design ensures fast line pickup, while the canvas phenolic handle—which becomes tackier when wet—provides confidence in the hand even in wet conditions.
With a trouble-free, maintenance-free spool release, the Animas is adventure-ready straight out of the box. The improved composite disc drag system paired with a stainless steel interface delivers smooth, dependable stopping power whether you're targeting trout in high mountain streams or chasing bonefish on the flats.
This limited edition model is finished with a subtle silhouette of the Colorado mountains, paying tribute to Ross Reels’ roots and commitment to American-made craftsmanship.
