Ross Colorado Fly Reel
The Colorado LT set the bar for lightweight click pawl reels. The new Colorado takes it to the next level.
This thoroughly updated design brings a beautiful aesthetic defined by aerodynamic shapes and surfaces. The look of this reel is different from anything on the market today. A novel, all-metal external clicker accentuates the back of the reel, complete with a machined silhouette of our local San Juan Mountains and a classic click-pawl sound. The spool is even more open than its predecessor, making the face of the reel appear spacious and clean, with the beveled large arbor showing off the backing and line just as well as it picks it up.
The semi-caged frame adds unmatched strength and rigidity, but with only a minimal weight gain – just enough to balance out a wider range of fishing conditions.

The Colorado Fly Reel feels balanced and lightweight. The external clicker with the San Juan Mountains design is a unique touch that stands out. The open spool makes it easy to see the line and backing, which helps during casting. It’s strong and reliable for daily use on the water.

I’ve used several reels before, and this one is different. The look is modern and clean, and the click sound is satisfying. The spool design gives great visibility, and the frame holds up well under pressure. A solid choice for serious fly fishing.

It’s lighter than expected and performs well in both calm and moving water. The aesthetic is impressive, especially the mountain silhouette. A bit more expensive, but the build quality and feel justify the price.
