One of our most popular reels for heavier freshwater, rivers and saltwater.

The Ross CLA is an affordable large arbor fly reel that has set a new standard in this price. They incorporate Ross' newest generation drag mechanism that is extraordinarily smooth, heat resistant and provides incredible stopping power. These reels offer a strong drag, greater drag range and sensitivity, more pleasant incoming and outgoing sound, hybrid large arbor configuration, innovative conversion mechanism and other additional features that anglers have come to expect with modern fly reel design. Each reel in this series is designed with a specific diameter and width to maximize the properties of drag consistency and line retrieval. The CLA will set a new standard for what anglers come to expect from an American made, high-quality, reasonably priced fly reel.

The larger CLAs in the 4-7 sizes are made to hold up when battling bigger fish. When comparing them to the smaller sized CLA reels, you will find that the 4-7 reels have a larger drag knob, handle and spool cap, but most importantly, they have a stronger drag system. To ensure smooth performance with fast-running fish, these larger four sizes have also been equipped with oil impregnated bushings for spool rotation. The frame and spool have also been reinforced to eliminate flexing. With a wide range of sizes available, the CLA series is appropriate for any fishing application, including Spey.

     ''From light trout and bass to full blown saltwater and Spey, these reels are awesome. We have yet to have even one reel come back or get any negative comments. It is nice to see a reel this smooth have extra thick construction to take the abuse of heavy fishing.  Thanks Ross for offering quality reels at all price levels.'' Dave C.
