ROSS ANIMAS 7/8 FLY REEL
The Animas also joins the family by incorporating an ultra-light canvas phenolic handle which gets tackier when wet. A new trouble-free spool release yields zero-maintenance performance, allowing the Animas to be ready for any fresh or saltwater excursion. The frame is accented by a machined silhouette of the Colorado mountains in Ross Reels’ backyard. Its uniquely ported design and structural profile are eye-catching industry firsts. The two-tone drag knob sports an updated aesthetic with a lower profile and increased grip. An improved composite drag system delivers more power in an established Ross design loved by more than 80,000 fly anglers the world over.

I’m really happy with this reel and the quality is top notch. I use this on a rod I fish carp with and it holds up very well. The reel is a bit on the heavy side but it doesn’t bother me at all.

I got this last year as a back up for my Evolution. Ended up putting a sinking pike line on this and a floating line on my evolution and used them both. This reel is heavier but not in a bad way. For sure this is better than a back up reel. It is a full time rig now!

Where do I start with this review, I have been eying the Ross Animas since the newest model was released thanks to a great girlfriend I got one for Christmas in 2019. Like it or not the we are influenced by the look of things as much as the use, the Animas reel is a sexy reel between the platinum color and the porting, it’s a looker. Besides the great looks the reel is lightweight and paired up with my Orvis Recon to make a great rig to throw some streamers at both Texas bass and some redfish on the coast. It’s a real catch of a reel, it will catch the attention of fellow anglers and the fish you reel em in.
