Ross CLA Fly Reels carry the name of one of Ross#39; oldest, and most popular series, however the CLA is a departure from the original Cimarron design. It incorporates Ross#39; newest generation drag mechanism that is incredibly smooth, heat resistant, and provides a level of stopping power not typically found in a moderately priced fly reel. The CLA sets the standard for what anglers should expect from an American made, high-quality, reasonably priced reel.

Comments about Ross Reels Ross CLA Fly Reels:

Like many of you, I try to buy American-made products when I can. That said, I hope the CLA6 I ordered lives up to its' reputation. There is a LOT of plastic behind the spool. The entire drag housing is plastic and the clicker tab is the most cheesy thing I've ever seen in a reel - let alone one that costs this much. Ross reels have a good reputation for durability and performance, but the materials of construction in this reel are a letdown.

Comments about Ross Reels Ross CLA Fly Reels:

I work as a guide on the Russian and Kenai rivers in Alaska and will put my CLR 6wt up against any fish in those streams other than King salmon.
I have landed many Dolly Varden and Rainbows from 5 to 10 pounds on this reel.

Comments about Ross Reels Ross CLA Fly Reels:

Great Steelhead Reel, 7-9 size can double as small spey reel with gel-spun backing. Drag stops 8lb. Steelhead but could easily tackle 30lb. Kings!
