Ross Animas Golden Trout Limited Edition 4|5 - REEL1080

This limited-edition Ross Animas 4|5 is a rare find from the "National Native Series," designed to honor the California Golden Trout. Built on the proven Animas platform, this reel balances the line capacity needed for general trout fishing with a lightweight profile perfect for 4- and 5-weight rods. Whether you are nymphing small creeks or presenting dries on larger rivers, the ultra-large bell-shaped arbor ensures rapid line retrieval and reduced line memory.

While the vibrant golden-yellow anodization and hand-painted spots on the drag knob make this a collector's piece, the engineering remains focused on hard use. The reel features a fully machined 6061-T6 aluminum frame that is rigid yet light, incorporating a custom Colorado mountain silhouette in its porting. The composite disc drag system is maintenance-free and offers low startup inertia to protect fine tippets, while the machined canvas phenolic handle improves grip when wet.

This specific reel is in great condition, offering a unique opportunity to own one of only 495 units produced. The Golden Trout edition is already sold out in many fly shops and is rarely available in the secondary market. This model has been fully inspected and is in perfect working order. Just two very small dings on the reel rim prevent it from listing as Like New.
