The Ross Animas Fly Reel is a proven, hard-working reel built for anglers who want lightweight performance, dependable drag, and long-term durability across a wide range of freshwater and light anadromous applications. Designed and manufactured in the USA, the Animas blends modern machining with Ross Reels’ legendary reliability—making it a go-to choice for trout, steelhead, and light salmon setups.
The smooth, sealed drag system delivers consistent pressure throughout the fight, protecting light tippets while still offering plenty of stopping power for strong runs. A large arbor design provides faster line pickup and reduced line memory, while the fully machined aluminum frame keeps weight down without sacrificing strength. Whether you’re nymphing technical water, swinging soft hackles, or stripping streamers, the Ross Animas offers confidence-inspiring performance you can count on season after season.
