The Ross Evolution LTX Fly Reel is the perfect combination of the Evolution LT feel and Evolution R performance. The drag with the LTX is over four times stronger than its predecessors, while retaining the sound and feel that helped make the Evolution an icon. This allows it to perform not only as a perfect trout reel, but also has the power to take on saltwater game fish like Redfish, Bonefish, and Snook. The Ross Reels signature bell-shaped arbor design also adds strength, while helping to self-level the fly line across the face of the spool as it is retrieved. The large arbor spool includes an innovative line channel for cleanly hiding arbor knots when winding on backing. The LTX also incorporates a handle machined from canvas phenolic rod, which adds durability, reduces weight, and increases grip when wet.
