Ross Colorado Fly Reel
The Colorado LT set the bar for Ross’s lightweight click pawl reels. The new Colorado takes it to the next level.
This thoroughly updated design brings a beautiful aesthetic defined by aerodynamic shapes and surfaces. The look of this reel is different from anything on the market today. A novel, all-metal external clicker accentuates the back of the reel, complete with a machined silhouette of our local San Juan Mountains and a classic click-pawl sound. The spool is even more open than its predecessor, making the face of the reel appear spacious and clean, with the beveled large arbor showing off the backing and line just as well as it picks it up.
Classic sound and feel meets modern strength and design to make the Colorado a functional piece of art – both on and off the water.

The Colorado reel feels balanced and lightweight. The click sound is crisp and the spool design makes it easy to see the line. The mountain silhouette adds a nice touch that makes it stand out on the shelf.

I’ve used several Ross reels before, and this one is the most refined. The open spool and clean lines make casting smooth and the aesthetic is impressive. Great for both fishing and display.

It’s a solid upgrade from the LT model. The clicker is well placed and the look is modern without losing the classic Ross feel. A bit heavier than expected for a lightweight reel, but still enjoyable to use.

The machined mountain design is unique and adds character. The reel performs well in the field and feels durable. I appreciate the attention to both function and form.
