It is no secret that Ross Reels has continually pushed the envelope when it comes to fly reels over the years. Their products and the craftsmanship of their products never stops amazing me. And, their Ross Colorado fly reel is no different.

Along with 3wt rods and alpine pursuits, click-and-paw reels have seen an uptick in popularity over the years. And, to this day, the Ross Colorado still finds itself ahead of the pack and, for good reason. The Ross Colorado fly reel is, lightweight (a tad heavier than the previous Colorado LT), high-quality and, offers some incredible visual appeal - my personal favorite is Matte Black.

Taking a deeper dive into the Ross Colorado, we can see that the Reel is fully machined out of 6061 T6 Aluminium, and because of this, we get a more airy reel with a moderately sized arbor that allows for the anglers to get a bit creative with their backing choices. When it comes to Click and Paw Reels, many traditional anglers hold a special place in their heart for them. The sound, the look, the feel all of this is a call back to a more pure time in fly fishing. The designers behind the Ross Colorado were able to capture that historical essence of a click-and-paw fly reel while adding in modern strength and aesthetics to ensure maximum performance every time you take it out on the water.
