Re: Ross reels
I have 3 Cimmaron's - wouldn't have 3 unless I liked them. I've used them for years and have never had problems. I think they're great reels.

Re: Ross reels
Roos reels are A++++ IN QUALITY and craftmanship. I owned a gunnison and 6 spools for years and years. I caught more fish on that reel than all other reels I have ever owned...combined! You could beat the snot out of those reels, and they wouldnt fail.

Re: Ross reels
I have two Ross #3 and a #5 Cimarron. The #3's have got about 4 years use, the #5 just a few months. I love em'. I've used them in fresh and salt water. Keep them clean and maintainence is complete, no lube. I have found them to be bullet proof.

Re: Ross reels
I'vee owned severall and been to the factory when I used to guide out of Montrose. Hard to find a better company. I salvaged a reel off the bottom and brought it in to them for a "waranty" repair :grin:. Even though they new I hauled it up off the bottom they gave me a brand new reel. I highly reccomend them.

Re: Ross reels
Great news on service. I'm a service addict and use Orvis stuff due to it. But, with this meaty remark, I may just go out and grab a Ross in the near future.
Thanks,

Re: Ross reels
I've been using my gunnison g-2 going on 14 years for trout and steelhead. It's taken a beating and still works like new. Only issue I've had was a plastic clicker part wore away, but sent it in for repair and service was quick, friendly, and free of charge. You can't go wrong with a Ross.

Re: Ross reels
While I think disc drag reels are pretty unecessary for trout (and probably steelhead), I really like my Cimmaron and Gunnison.

Re: Ross reels
Have a Ross Canyon 4 that has yet to feel the pull of steel, am hoping to change that this winter...as soon as I'm done hunting. :tongue:
Do like the feel of it in simulated fights with my boxer, just put a piece of yarn, no hook, and cast anywhere near her. The fight is on.
