Ross Reels Evolution LTX Limited Edition – Ember (2026 Fall Colors)
The Ross Reels Evolution series defined the modern trout reel. Now meet the award-winning Evolution LTX: the perfect combination of original Evolution LT feel and Evolution R performance.
The ultra-smooth drag found in the Evolution LT has a long and revered history, but our engineering team took this design to the next level. The drag debuting with the LTX is over four times stronger than its predecessors’, while retaining the sound and feel that helped make the Evolution an icon. This allows it to perform not only as a perfect trout reel, but also has the power to take on saltwater game fish like Redfish, Bonefish, and Snook.
The large arbor spool includes an innovative line channel for cleanly hiding arbor knots when winding on backing. The Ross Reels signature bell-shape spool provides excellent line capacity and smooth casting performance.

I’ve used the Evolution LTX for both freshwater and saltwater fishing. The drag is incredibly strong and holds well under pressure. The line channel keeps knots hidden, which makes it easier to cast without tangles. The Ember color is a nice addition to the lineup.
Evan McDonald –
This reel feels like the classic Evolution but with much better performance. It handles bonefish well and has a smooth drag that doesn’t snap under pressure. The bell-shaped spool is easy to load and keeps line organized.

Great for trout fishing, and I’ve tried it on redfish too. The drag strength is impressive, and the color stands out in the field. A little heavier than I expected, but it’s worth it for the performance.
