| After more than two years of design, development and testing, we are pleased
to introduce the Ross™ F1™ - a large arbor series that is destined to revolutionize
modern fly reel design. The Ross™ F1™ is a complete departure from
conventional thinking and incorporates the most innovative features found in any
fly reel. The drag system utilizes eight independent contact points to produce
the smoothest and most dependable drag system on the market today.
Two square inches of carbon fiber drag surface results in unsurpassed
stopping power and heat dissipation. The spool fits on a carbon fiber
stabilizer with two fully sealed stainless steel ball bearings that provide
precision fit and smooth rotation. The Ross™ F1™ employs a Ross
original clutch bearing that is fully sealed and enables retrieve
conversion without removing the bearing- an industry first!
The extensive use of carbon fiber in the drag system, spool stabilizer,
handle and spool release produce system strength and rigidity,
while at the same time reducing overall weight. Ten separate o-rings
completely seal the system, making it totally impervious to the
drag-changing effects of water. The Ross™ F1™ employs a
constant-torque drag knob with a 56:1 mechanical
advantage; resulting in uniform drag knob rotation
and infinite drag adjustment.
