Classic Click-Pawl Soul Meets Modern Patriotic Artistry

Elevate your small-water setups with the Ross Reels Colorado Fly Reel - Liberty Edition. Precision-machined right over the pass from us in Montrose, Colorado, this limited-edition release elevates the iconic ultra-lightweight click-pawl chassis to a true work of art. Featuring a striking, custom red, white, and blue anodized finish, the Liberty Edition combines the timeless acoustic soul of traditional fly fishing with cutting-edge, aerodynamic geometry. It is the definitive center-piece reel for technical trout streams, high-country creeks, and minimalist fly rod configurations.

Aerodynamic Minimalist Engineering Under 3 Ounces

Building directly upon the award-winning heritage of the Colorado LT, this thoroughly updated model showcases aggressively skeletonized, face-milled contours that drop the total weight across all sizes to under 3.0 ounces. Machined from a solid block of proprietary 6061-T6 aerospace-grade aluminum, the frame and spool yield unmatched structural rigidity without unnecessary bulk. Instead of a traditional metal counterweight, Ross utilizes an innovative, machined canvas phenolic handle resting on a lightweight 7075-T6 chromated aluminum post, ensuring a slip-free grip when fighting fish while optimizing total rotational balance.

The Satisfying Purr of an All-Metal Click Pawl

The heart of the Colorado is its fully mechanical, crisp all-metal drag. Utilizing a precision-cut stainless steel pawl, gear, and internal spring, it belts out that classic, head-turning click-purr soundtrack on the water. A marine-grade bronze bushing spins effortlessly on a stainless steel spindle, offering an incredibly smooth payout that protects light 6X and 7X tippets during sudden, short-range trout surges. Outfitted with a quick-release spool and an effortless left-to-right-hand retrieve conversion, this reel is as functional as it is stunning.
