To guarantee the level of dependability fly angler have come to expect from Ross, they modeled the Evolution's drag system after the highly successful Canyon Big Game series. Even though the drag design is probably more than one will need for light tackle pursuits, it is guaranteed to handle any species your rod can match. Because a durable drag system is only one component of a perfect reel, great time was also invested into developing a drag system that is precise and sensitive - capable of protecting the lightest tippets even when battling world-class fish.

The Evolution series was designed to balance with today's modern rods. It is lightweight but built sturdy to ensure a lifetime of flawless performance. The spool has the perfect ratio of width to arbor diameter that provides all the benefits of large arbor technology. While other manufacturers settle for a standard width for their entire series of product Ross has assigned each of the five sized Evolutions a different width ensuring the best match between diameter and width among the full range of sizes. The Evolution will surpass the expectations of the most discriminating angler, and as with all Ross Reels, the Evolution is guaranteed for life.
