Ross Rhythm Reel
Guaranteed for Life
Ross Rhythm Reel
Ross Reels are the best selling fly reels in the fly fishing industry. Superior fly reel components combined with quality manufacturing processes and a lifetime guarantee on all Ross Fly Reels including the Ross Rhythm Reel are among the reasons Ross Fly Reels are the best selling in the business.
In April 2005, a friend recommended a "Ross Rhythm Reel". After researching Ross Rhythm Reels, I purchased a Rhythm Reel model 1.5 for 3 - 5wt fly lines
Why I like my Ross Rhythm Reel:
- The Ross Rhythm Reel series are a modestly priced large arbor design.
- My Ross Rhythm Reel is sealed against dirt and debris. This means I can use it for fresh or salt water fly fishing. It also means my Ross Rhythm Reel is almost maintenance free and requires no lubrication.
- Almost infinite drag settings on my Ross Rhythm Reel
- Drag is easily adjusted via the large side knob
- Friction based DelrinŽ drag material that is impervious to heat, compression, glazing, aging and crumbling
- Three backup drag systems ensure dependability under the most demanding fishing conditions
- Seamless transition between line-in and drag engagement (no start-up friction means less snapped leaders when a heavy fish strikes)
- Ease of conversion (L/H to R/H wind)
- The exposed palming spool on my Ross Rhythm Reel helps me control the runs of large hooked fish
- The light weight of my Ross Rhythm Reel fully loaded with line and backing
- I like the traditional glossy black finish. But Ross Rhythm Fly Reels also come in eye pleasing Slate Grey
- Editors Recommendation: The 1.5 Ross Rhythm Reel fully loaded with a 5wt fly line and backing balances a 7.5 to 8.5 foot fly rod nicely.
- Editors Recommendation: The model 2 Ross Rhythm Reel fully loaded with a 5 or 6wt fly line and backing balances a 9 or 9.5 foot fly rod.
