Ross Reels TU Native Series Special Edition Greenback Cutthroat Colorado Fly Reel

The Colorado LT set the bar for 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.

The semi-caged frame adds unmatched strength and rigidity, but with only a minimal weight gain - just enough to balance out a wider range of lightweight rods. The industry-first bushing is fully machined from Vesconite - a material specifically designed to be used in the toughest marine bearing applications, guaranteeing a lifetime of flawless operation.

Classic sound and feel meets modern strength and design to make the Colorado a functional piece of art - both on and off the water. With every angle and material carefully analyzed and considered, the new Colorado is designed to be fished from small streams to big rivers and everything in between.

ABOUT THE GREENBACK CUTTHROAT TROUT:

• Colorado's official State Fish
• Once thought extinct, one remnant population was found near Colorado Springs and recovery efforts have built from there.
• The only native trout to the South Platte watershed in Colorado.
• A protected species – where fishing is allowed it is catch and release only – do your part and safely return all greenbacks unharmed to the water!

ABOUT THE POUDRE HEADWATERS PROJECT:

• Located in the headwaters of the Cache la Poudre across Rocky Mountain National Park and the Roosevelt National Forest
• Largest-scale trout restoration project in Colorado history; will span over 38 miles of streams and 110 acres of lakes and reservoirs
• In the face of climate changes including increased floods and wildfire, large interconnected habitats are more important than ever in providing resiliency for native trout to weather those disturbances without the risk of extirpation. This project will give greenbacks a large stronghold habitat that can help them withstand those challenges and thrive for decades to come.
