Rich uses Ross Reels fishing for salmon, trout, and steelhead.  He knows that Ross Reels can stand up to the pressure of big fish and tough clients.  Rich uses the CLA 4-6 as his reels of choice on his double handed rods and he prefers the Evolution 3.5 for his single hand steelhead rods.  Quality, price and Ross's lifetime warranty makes these reels his #1 choice.  Rich is an Oregon registered Ross Pro Guide.
