Classic Evolution Soul Meets Heavy-Duty Saltwater Drag Power

Bring a bold, patriotic statement to your favorite fly rod with the Ross Reels Evolution LTX - Liberty Edition. Precision-machined right over the pass from us in Montrose, Colorado, this limited-edition release takes Ross's award-winning trout platform and gives it a stunning red frame, platinum spool, and anodized blue accents. It combines the ultra-lightweight feel of the classic Evolution LT with the hard-stopping drag performance of the flagship Evolution R, making it a masterpiece on both technical western trout rivers and breezy saltwater flats.

Four Times the Drag Power for Freshwater and Saltwater Cross-Over

While the Evolution series has long defined the modern trout reel, Ross Reels' engineering team elevated this iteration to a true cross-species powerhouse. The LTX features a fully sealed, high-performance drag system that is over four times stronger than its predecessors. While retaining the classic, iconic click and smooth startup inertia that trout anglers revere, it packs more than enough raw stopping power to confidently halt hard-running light saltwater game fish like redfish, bonefish, and snook.

Bell-Shaped Large Arbor and Canvas Phenolic Handle

The LTX features an aggressively styled, large arbor spool incorporating an innovative line channel designed to cleanly hide arbor knots when winding on your backing. The signature bell-shaped arbor adds incredible structural strength while naturally helping to self-level your fly line evenly across the face of the spool during high-speed retrieves. For an unbreakable grip in wet wading environments, the reel is finished with a lightweight handle machined from canvas phenolic rod—adding rugged durability while shaving valuable ounces.

Key Features:

  • Limited Liberty Anodized Finish: A striking, highly exclusive red, platinum, and blue theme that celebrates premium American craftsmanship.

  • Quadrupled Drag Intensity: Sealed, ultra-smooth drag system delivers four times the fighting pressure of legacy Evolution models.

  • Bell-Shaped Large Arbor: Maximizes line retrieval speeds and self-levels fly lines perfectly to prevent line stacking.

  • Integrated Line Channel: Innovative spool groove hides bulky backing knots for a perfectly flat line foundation.

  • Canvas Phenolic Handle: Lightweight, weather-resistant handle provides a high-traction, non-slip grip when soaked.

  • All-Water Versatility: Available in technical 3/4wt, 4/5wt, and 5/6wt sizes to perfectly balance trout, bass, and light saltwater rods.

  • Proudly Made in Colorado, USA: Designed, machined, and hand-assembled locally in Montrose, Colorado, with a Limited Lifetime Warranty.
