Crafted in Ross's Colorado factory, the San Miguel Fly Reel blends modern machining and materials with all of the elements that made the original iconic. Returning are the polished high-gloss black finish on a solid-backed frame, the liquid-smooth free spool, wide-range adjustable sealed drag, and the famous "flower petal" porting. New to the design, a canvas micarta handle improves your grip when wet, and the precision sealed drag system consists of a carbon and stainless steel stack-up that yields powerful yet smooth resistance. The large-arbor spool is accentuated by a machined stainless steel push-button release that looks as good as it performs. This merging of old and new features make this reel a worthy heir of the iconic San Miguel name.
