Ross Worldwide Flywater Fly Fishing Reel
Ross Worldwide Flywater Fly Fishing Reel

The Flywater is a hybrid large arbor fly reel that is beautifully crafted with cosmetic innovation and precision workmanship. The open back frame design and extensive spool ventilation is attractive and lightweight, but the series is built strong to support a lifetime of flawless performance. The Flywater drag system is identical to the system that was used in our award winning Gunnison USA series. This is pretty impressive considering that the Gunnison sold for more than twice the price of the Flywater series, and during it's twenty plus years on the market, the Gunnison was awarded more industry awards than any other fly reel in the world. The drag system is strong, sensitive and dependable, engineered to guarantee a lifetime of flawless performance. The Flywater is the perfect reel for those anglers who are equally concerned about impeccable drag performance, great aesthetics and rugged durability.

  • Manufactured out of high quality aluminum
  • Self-lubricating, synthetic drag system that is virtually maintenance free
  • Electrostatically coated for the perfect balance of hardness and color
