Ross F1 Fly Reel Series (Fly Line Included)


Ross F1 Fly Reel Series (Fly Line Included)

Ross F1 fly reel series is destined to revolutionize modern fly reel design. The F1 is a complete departure from conventional thinking and incorporates the most innovative features found in any fly reel today. Inspired by the break system utilized in Formula 1 race cars, the F1 is an integration of carbon fiber and stainless steel; utilizing 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 to a carbon fiber stabilizer which utilizing two fully sealed stainless steel ball bearings to provide precision fit and smooth rotation. The 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 provide system strength and rigidity, while reducing overall weight. Ten separate o-rings completely seal the system, making it totally impervious to the drag-changing effects of water. The entire system is controlled by a constant-torque drag knob with a 56:1 mechanical advantage; resulting in uniform drag knob rotation and infinite drag adjustment.

Venice Redfish Lodge, Fly Fishing


Venice Redfish Lodge, Fly Fishing

In April of 2011 the Platte River Fly Shop will be hosting a 5 night / 4 days of fishing trip to Venice Redfish Lodge in Louisiana. For those that have joined us in the past to the Laguna Madre in Texas, you know how fun it is fly fishing for redfish on flats. Add Black Drum, Sea Trout, Sheeps Head, Flounder and maybe even a Tarpon gives you have quit a few species to cast to. We've moved the trip over to Venice, Louisiana this next year with the hope of catching even larger bull reds. We also picked fishing dates to coincide with the new moon. As of August of 2010 the BP Oil Spill has not had an adverse affect on fishing in the Louisiana Marsh. The owner told me, "everyone has been scared away by the media and fishing is actually better". Please visit the Venice Fishing Lodge website (or go to their Facebook page) to watch videos, check out the fishing reports, photos and other information.
