AFTER more than two years of design, development and testing, Australian distributor Mayfly Tackle introduces the Ross F1 large arbor fly reel.
The drag system utilises eight independent contact points to produce the smoothest and most dependable drag system on the market today. Two square inches of carbon fibre drag surface results in unsurpassed stopping power and heat dissipation. The spool fits on a carbon fibre stabilizer with two fully sealed stainless steel ball bearings that provide precision fit and smooth rotation.
The Ross F1 employs a Ross original clutch bearing that is fully sealed and enables retrieve conversion without removing the bearing – an industry first. The extensive use of carbon fiber in the drag system, spool stabilizer, handle and spool release produce system strength and rigidity, while at the same time reducing overall weight. Ten separate o-rings completely seal the system, making it totally impervious to the drag-changing effects of water. The Ross F1 employs a constant-torque drag knob with a 56:1 mechanical advantage, resulting in uniform drag knob rotation and infinite drag adjustment.
The reel retails from $649 through to $899 and comes with a lifetime warranty.
