Ross CLA

If you’re looking for a tough dependable reel that won’t break the bank, the Ross CLA is a great choice. Guiding steelhead is without a doubt one of the best tests for a reel’s longevity. They’re constantly being thrown around, fallen on, set in the dirt, and most of all, given a good work out by pissed-off steelhead. Many of my guides use the reels and we’ve never had a problem with a CLA. While they lack some of the aesthetics of higher priced reels, they make up for it in price and over-all dependability.
