The Modern Trout Reel

Meet the Evolution LTX: the perfect combination of original Evolution LT feel and Evolution R performance.

The Evolution LT has a long and revered history of ultra-smooth drag, so Ross engineers took this design to the next level. The drag of the LTX is now four times stronger than before, while retaining the sound and feel that helped make the Evolution an icon. The large arbor spool includes an innovative line channel for cleanly hiding arbor knots when winding on backing. The Ross Reels signature bell-shaped arbor design also adds strength, while assisting to self-level the fly line across the face of the spool as it is retrieved.

The LTX also incorporates a handle machined from Ross’ innovative canvas phenolic rod in order to reduce weight, add durability, and increase grip when wet. These improvements make the LTX a true light saltwater contender, perfectly at home on the flats as it is on the shores of a western river.

Bonus fly line not available on certain sale models.
