WNY Fly Fishing Reel Review


Ross™ F1™

 The colors  - black, guide finish, and nickel silver, the guide finish is my favorite choice
I like the machined foot.The reel foot isn’t like other reels it’s machined from the same chunk of metal as the frame; this makes the whole reel stronger and looks cool also.
 
Drag Performance

The engagement is super smooth. It takes just a smooth, easy pull to start line coming off the reel and feels silky smooth.
Drag performance was extremely consistent. Whether it was dry or dunked underwater (yes, I dunked the reel while fishing who hasn’t), tight drag or loose drag, beginning or end of the season, I could find no difference in the performance of the drag. After catching Kings, monster browns and smoking hot steelhead, this reel is the best I have in my arsenal for WNY lake run fish.
