Ross Animas Spare Spool

The Animas River flows rough and wild through southwest Colorado. Like its namesake, the Ross Reels™ Animas™ reel will keep running no matter what it faces.

The Ross Animas Fly-Fishing Fly Reel is a Ross fly-fishing fly reel that is a very affordable fly-fishing fly reel that is feature-rich and very innovative. This fly-fishing fly reel is designed with a very lightweight large arbor ported frame that features a very smooth drag and can be converted from left to right without any tools which is really great. 

The Animas takes the time proven features that made the original Animas a guide and Platte River Fly Shop favorite, while incorporating machining features that bring it into the modern era of Ross Reels.

A fully redesigned frame and spool are highlights of the new Animas.  The spool shows off the cutting edge manufacturing techniqes Ross Reels has developed, delivering a design that is incredibly strong and visually stunning.  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 fly anglers around the world.

    I live in California and can basically deal on-line with ANY Ross Reels dealer. Each and every time I have placed an order with Platte River Fly Shop, the staff has called me to double-check on the items ordered to make sure the order is CORRECT. I am an 'old school' personal customer service kind of guy, and that's what keeps bringing me back. Plus, kudos to Ross Reels for continuing to make spools for other older reel models that I own, UNLIKE many of the other major reel manufacturers.
