Ross Reels Colorado LT 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 spool.

I’ve used several reels over the years and the Colorado stands out for its balance of lightness and strength. The design is sleek and the click sound is satisfying. The open spool makes it easy to see the line, which helps during casting and retrieval.

The San Juan Mountains detail on the clicker is a nice touch. It’s not just functional — it’s visually distinctive. The reel feels solid in hand and performs well in both still water and moving streams.

Great build quality and the weight is very manageable. The clicker is easy to operate and the spool design gives a clean look. A bit more expensive than basic models, but worth it for the craftsmanship.

I love how the beveled arbor shows the backing and line clearly. It’s a small detail, but it makes a big difference in visibility. The rigidity of the frame means it holds up well during long fishing sessions.
