MOMENTUM LT

New for 2009 is the Momentum LT - a lightweight, modern version of the standard Momentum.

The LT series is crafted with modern cosmetics, has enhanced sound on line-in and line-out, a machined engraved logo on the spool cap, and the reel is fitted with our newest drag knob design that delivers smooth rotation, infinite adjustments and secure settings.

VEXSIS

The Vexsis fly reel series is loaded with modern Ross technology and innovative engineering. The drag system is based on the Momentum's Carbon Fiber design, but Ross has modified the drag system by adding in ceramic to enhance the overall performance. The Vexsis drag system is a very powerful push type system that utilizes a Carbon Fiber/Rulon/Ceramic/Aluminum stack-up to maximize the benefits of each of these materials. Consistency, strength, heat resistance, shock-dampening capabilities and infinite fatigue resistance are all properties of Carbon Fiber that benefit this system. The addition of Ceramic promotes strength in the overall design by providing an incompressible surface that is highly heat resistant. By combining these elements together in the correct sequence, you end up with a perfect fly reel braking system!

In addition to a world-class drag system, the Vexsis series is loaded with our most modern reel technology:

Magnetic Spool Release:  The MagnaLock™ spool release is a magnet-driven system that uses 4 Ni-Cu-Ni (Nickel Copper Nickel) plated NdFeB (Neodymium Iron Boron) grade N40 magnets to secure the spool onto the frame. With an operational life of more than 1000 years, this system will always perform flawlessly.

Linear Drag Knob Rotation: The drag knob incorporates a revolutionary multi-ball thrust bearing drag for an almost perfectly linear drag response, resulting in a constant, mechanical feel through multiple knob rotations. Regardless of how much drag has been applied to the Vexsis system, the drag knob rotation is effortless. This provides the Ross system with greater drag range and usability when compared to every competitive reel tested.

Instant Retrieve Conversion:  The twin pawl "over-center" style escapement allows the user to convert the direction of retrieve from left-hand to right-hand with a quick turn of the escapement cover. In less than one second, this conversion can be completed without any tools or disassembly.

EVOLUTION    

The next generation in Large Arbor technology

The Evolution series was designed to balance with today's modern rods. It is lightweight but built sturdy to ensure a lifetime of flawless performance. The spool has the perfect ratio of width to arbor diameter that provides all the benefits of large arbor technology. While other manufacturers settle for a standard width for their entire series of product we have assigned each of the five sized Evolutions a different width ensuring the best match between diameter and width among the full range of sizes. The Evolution will surpass the expectations of the most discriminating angler, and as with all Ross Reels, the Evolution is guaranteed for life.

Features

Drag Material: A friction base Delrin® material that is impervious to heat, compression, glazing, aging and crumbling.

Drag Engagement: An escapement (one-way drag) that provides smoothness, simplicity, redundancy, corrosion resistance and ease of conversion (L/H to R/H wind). The escapement is totally corrosion resistant, uses no springs that are easily lost or rusted, and has quadruple redundancy. This redundancy provides three backup systems within the drag to ensure dependability under the most demanding fishing conditions.

• Fully machined out of premium bar stock aluminum

• Advanced space-age disc drag system resulting in perfect, controlled, repeatable drag settings

• Lightweight design with a fully ventilated, perfectly balanced spool and frame

• Pleasant incoming and outgoing click

• Seamless transition between line-in and drag engagement (no start-up friction)

• Quick release locking spool

• Easy LH/RH retrieve conversion

• Rapid retrieve

• Exposed spool rim for palming

• Saltwater approved

• Guaranteed for life

ROSS CLA REEL

Large Arbor Technology at an Affordable Price

The CLA series carries the name of one of Ross' oldest, and most popular series, however the CLA is a departure from the original Cimarron design. It incorporates Ross' newest generation drag mechanism that is incredibly smooth, heat resistant and provides a level of stopping power not typically found in a moderately priced fly reel. Because the Cimarron series has provided anglers with flawless performance for more than two decades, the bar was set incredibly high for any new product introduced at a similar price. Ross has  answered the call by introducing a series that matches the Cimarron in durability and affordable price, but offers a stronger drag, more pleasant sound, large arbor configuration, innovative conversion mechanism and additional features that anglers have come to expect with modern fly reel design. Guides and hardcore anglers alike will appreciate the series incredible durability, reliable performance and sensitive drag. The CLA sets a new standard for what anglers should expect from an American made, high-quality, reasonably priced reel.

Strong, smooth and sensitive disc drag system

Friction based Delrin® drag material that is impervious to heat, compression, glazing, aging and crumbling

Fully ventilated, perfectly balanced spool and frame

Perfect ratio of spool width to arbor diameter that provides all the benefits of large arbor technology
