The Ross Reels Evolution LTX Fly Reel is four times stronger than previous models, yet still maintains Evolution's reputation of being one the best. The signature construction and arbor shape add strength while assisting to self-level the fly line across the face of the spool as it is retrieved. The Evolution LTX is constructed from proprietary aluminum alloy and features a handle machined from a canvas phenolic rod to reduce weight, add durability, and increase your grip when wet. Fly anglers will appreciate the improvements of the LTX and its ability to fish in fresh or saltwater environments.
