Sold – Ross Animas 4|5 - REEL1081

The Ross Animas 4|5 in Matte Black is a premier choice for trout anglers seeking a blend of classic durability and modern performance. Designed for 4- and 5-weight lines, this reel is a versatile workhorse capable of handling everything from delicate dry fly presentations on small creeks to nymphing larger rivers. Its ultra-large, bell-shaped arbor significantly increases line retrieval rates and reduces line memory, ensuring you are always ready for the next cast.

Engineering excellence is evident in the fully machined 6061-T6 aluminum frame, which features a custom silhouette of the Colorado mountains integrated into its porting. This design reduces weight to just 4.1 ounces without sacrificing structural rigidity. The reel utilizes a composite disc drag system with a stainless-steel interface, offering low start-up inertia to protect fine tippets and smooth power for fighting fish. A machined canvas phenolic handle improves grip when wet, adding a functional touch of craftsmanship.

This specific reel is in Like New condition, showing no visible signs of use or wear. It offers the performance and aesthetic of a fresh-out-of-the-box Ross reel at a compelling value. The Matte Black finish provides a stealthy, non-reflective look on the water, perfect for spooky fish.
