Special Edition Ross Reels Animas – Trout Unlimited Edition – 5/6 Reel
The 2019 Animas takes the time-proven features that made the original Animas a guide favorite and incorporates new machined features that bring it into the modern era of Ross.
A fully-redesigned frame and spool are highlights of the new Animas. The spool shows off the cutting-edge manufacturing techniques Ross Reels has developed, delivering a design that is incredibly strong and visually stunning. The Animas also re-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.

The reel feels solid and well-built. The handle grips well even when wet, and the spool release works smoothly without any issues. The Colorado mountain design is a nice touch that adds character to the product.

I’ve used this reel for both trout and small bass fishing. The strength of the spool and the lightweight handle make it easy to carry for long days on the water. The design is unique and stands out among other reels.

The reel performs well in saltwater conditions. The spool release is reliable and the handle stays secure. A bit heavier than expected for a 5/6, but still manageable for most fishing scenarios.
