Ross Gunnison Fly Reel - 7/8WT - Made in USA
Ross Gunnison Fly Reel - 7/8WT - Made in USA, Description: Cutting through the Black Canyon on the Western Slope of Colorado, and only 10 miles from the Ross Reels factory and Ed's Fly Shop, the storied Gunnison river inspired the name for one of the most iconic, reliable, and best-selling fly reels ever produced. As a tribute to the original aesthetics, the Gunnison is designed with octagonal machining, round porting, and a leader groove on the frame. That is where the similarities part ways, as the new Gunnison represents the best in modern reel design while retaining all the reliability and ruggedness of the original. While the unique frame geometry and spool profile echo the original Gunnison, the contemporary porting and large arbor design make this a modern, bulletproof package with retro styling. The Gunnison also has a high-performance drag based on the same platform as the new Evolution LTX, creating a reliable and powerful system impervious to the elements. At the end of the day, replacing what was the favorite (and in many cases the first) fly reel of so many anglers was a daunting task. These were huge shoes to fill, but the new Ross Reels Gunnison has risen to the occasion.
