ROSS CLA (Cimarron Large Arbor) Reel
The ROSS Cimarron Large Arbor reel is a big departure from the original Cimarron design. It incorporates our newest generation drag mechanism that is extraordinarily smooth, heat resistant and provides incredible stopping power. The CLA matches the Cimarron in durability and affordable price, but offers a stronger drag, greater drag range and sensitivity, more pleasant incoming and outgoing sound, hybrid large arbor configuration, innovative conversion mechanism and other additional features that anglers have come to expect with modern fly reel design. Each reel in this series is designed with a specific diameter and width to maximize the properties of drag consistency and line retrieval. The CLA will set a new standard for what anglers come to expect from an American made, high-quality, reasonably priced fly reel.
The mechanical operation of the CLA is consistent throughout the series, but improvments have been made to the CLA sizes 4-7 to support thier use when batteling larger anadromous fish. When comparing them to the smaller size CLA reels, you will find that the 4-7 size reels have a larger drag knob, handle and spool cap, but most importantly, they have a stronger drag system. To insure smooth performance with fast running fish, these larger 4 sizes have also been equipped with oil impregnated bushings for spool rotation. The frame and spool have also been reinforced to eliminate flexing. With a wide range of sizes available, The CLA series is appropriate for any fishing application,including Spey. The CLA1 thru CLA4 Accomodate line weights from WF2F to WF9F. The CLA4 thru size CLA7 have spey line capacity from 5/6 WindCutter to 10/11/12 WindCutter with up to 200 yds of backing capacity and also up to WF12F with 300 yd backing for saltwater applications.
This series of Ross CLA Reel is rapidly becoming one of our customers favorite due to excellent design and moderate price.
