The return of an icon.
Since Ross Reels started in 1973, there has been one model that epitomizes what a Ross Reel is: the San Miguel. It defined the ultimate in class and finesse, and now, over two decades since it was first launched, the classic returns.
Meticulously designed in our Colorado factory, the new San Miguel blends modern machining and materials with all of the elements that made the original iconic. Returning are the polished high-gloss black finish on a solid-backed frame, the liquid-smooth free spool, wide-range adjustable sealed drag, and the famous “flower petal” porting.
This new version also debuts modernized features such as a canvas micarta handle, a material used in high-end custom knives to improve grip when wet. The precision sealed drag system consists of a carbon / stainless steel stack-up, yielding powerful yet smooth resistance. The large-arbor spool is accentuated by a machined stainless steel push-button release that looks as good as it performs.
This integration of classic and new features make this reel a worthy heir of the iconic San Miguel name.
Reel is meticulously put together. I really like the free spooling retrieve, allows you to gain line quickly when a fish is first on the line. The drag is bomb proof and changes have a very nice positive lock. The outgoing sound is enough to give you a sense of the fish's speed, but not loud enough to be distracting, or to attract others' attention on the river. A once in a lifetime reel, won't need others after this. Well done Ross. Staff have been terrific, as you would expect at Trouts.
Bought the San Miguel back in September as I’ve been in previous times but every time I’m in the store everyone’s friendly and helpful the employees led me to some great sealed drag reels as the San Miguel peaked my interest. Was very helpful and they even lined it up for me with backing and fly line really is a smooth reel
