Limited Edition 4/5 Animas Reels based on the Kern River Rainbow Trout and Eastern Brook Trout.

The limited edition Brook and Rainbow Animas Reels have a uniquely ported design and structural profile that are eye-catching industry firsts. The hand painted spots on the drag knobs are beautiful details defined by the brook and rainbow species. An improved composite drag system delivers more power in an established Ross design used and loved by more than 80,000 fly anglers the world over.

A fully-redesigned frame and spool are highlights of the Animas. The spool shows off the cutting-edge manufacturing techniques Ross Reels has developed, delivering a design that is incredibly strong and visually stunning. The Animas incorporates an ultra-light canvas phenolic handle which gets tackier when wet. A new trouble-free spool release yields zero-maintenance performance, allowing the Animas to be ready for any freshwater excursion.
