What do I look for in a big game reel?
When you are looking to buy a big game reel, it is all about the drag! The drag material chosen for the Ross BG series is a space-age polymer composite. In both static (dead lift) and dynamic (full-drag rotation) testing, the polymer composite outperformed every competitive drag material tested by a minimum of 25%. The BG series is smoother and more consistent than conventional cork drag systems, and unlike cork, it performs flawlessly in extreme cold, extreme heat and even when submerged. The reel is totally corrosion resistant, using no springs or small parts that are easily lost or rusted. The drag system has quadruple redundancy, providing three back-ups to ensure reliability even under the most demanding fishing conditions. When you also consider that the Ross Big Game series tested #1 in heat dissipation, contamination immunity and ease of cleaning, choosing the right saltwater reel has now become effortless.
