This Ross Evolution is a fantastic little reel. This would be a great choice for a small stream rod, but has a great drag that would handle very large trout. This reel has seen its fair share of stream time but still functions perfectly. The reel is in good shape, drag works great but there are some scratches from use over the years. Reel comes with backing. Condition - 3/5 *Note About Warranty: Due to the age and varied makes of product, TCO sells all used gear with NO implied warranty.
