Product Description:

The Ross Colorado Rio Grande Cutthroat Special Edition is where art, engineering, and conservation converge in one extraordinary reel. Limited to just 495 reels worldwide, this special edition Colorado 4/5 pays tribute to one of the American Southwest's most treasured native fish — the Rio Grande cutthroat trout — while delivering the most advanced Colorado platform Ross Reels has ever produced.

Building on the legacy of the beloved Colorado LT, this thoroughly updated design brings a stunning new aesthetic defined by aerodynamic shapes and surfaces unlike anything else on the market. A novel all-metal external clicker accentuates the back of the reel, complete with a hand-painted Rio Grande cutthroat clicker plate that celebrates the species in breathtaking detail. The more open spool face gives the reel a clean, spacious appearance while the beveled large arbor picks up line and backing as beautifully as it displays it.

The semi-caged frame delivers unprecedented strength and rigidity with only minimal weight gain — just enough to balance a wider range of lightweight rods. The industry-first Vesconite bushing is fully machined from a material specifically engineered for the toughest marine bearing applications, guaranteeing a lifetime of flawless, silky-smooth operation. The unidirectional click-pawl drag delivers that crisp, audible sound that click-pawl enthusiasts love, and the canvas micarta handle provides confident grip in wet conditions.

Each reel is individually serialized from 1 to 495 with "Rio Grande" engraved on the reel foot — a permanent mark of authenticity connecting every owner to this important conservation effort. With every purchase, a donation is made to Trout Unlimited to support Rio Grande cutthroat conservation projects, and each reel includes an introductory one-year Trout Unlimited membership card giving you or a friend access to TROUT Magazine and local TU chapter membership.

Classic sound and feel meets modern strength and design. This is a functional piece of art — both on and off the water.
