Ross Reels Animas Limited Edition – Purple
Insired by late-day shadows on alpine lakes and the glow of a purple haze, this reel’s got just the right amount of flash with deep violet and platinum components.
Named after the Animas River just upstream from our home in Montrose, Colorado, this reel is built for anglers who need reliable performance in any water.
The Animas features a fully machined frame and spool with a structural profile, intricate porting, and a Colorado mountain silhouette. Its ultra-large, bell-shaped arbor allows for fast line pickup and reduced memory. The upgraded composite drag system delivers smooth, consistent stopping power in both fresh and saltwater.
A lightweight canvas phenolic handle offers solid grip when wet, and the low-profile, two-tone drag knob improves control.
