Ross Reel - The Momentum Series
Welcome to the next generation of Ross products! The
Momentum series represents a cosmic departure from current
Ross designs in both function and style. The carbon fiber
employed for the Momentum drag system is incredibly strong!
The measurement of the strength for this material is "ksi",
which denotes tensile strength in thousands of pounds
per square inch. So just how strong is the carbon fiber
drag system? To get a good perspective on this, the aluminum
used to produce Ross products is 45ksi; meaning it can
resist a tension load of 45,000 pounds per square inch
of material. This is pretty impressive until you realize
that the carbon fiber used in the Momentum drag system
is 700ksi - vastly stronger than aluminum, steel and even
titanium!
The first time you handle a Momentum reel, you will be
amazed with its meticulous machining and ergonomic design.
Ross has custom fit this series with a large but unobtrusive
drag knob - easily found for adjustment during the heat
of battle, but never in the way. Additionally, the Momentum
handle has been designed to fit comfortably between your
fingers, but will never slip free when taking on a monster
fish. Each reel in this series is designed with a specific
diameter and width to maximize the properties of drag
consistency and line retrieval. With 6.3 square inches
of effective drag surface, and 12 pounds of dead lift
weight, the Momentum series has three times the effective
stopping power of every drag tested. Put simply, the Momentum
is the strongest fly fishing reel on the market today;
and it costs considerably less than many competitive brands.
A triple-redundancy drag system ensures dependability
under the most demanding fishing conditions, and by adding
in features like a titanium drag components, a quick-release
locking spool and water shedding grooves on the palming
rim, you have the ultimate big game fly fishing reel.
With a wide range of sizes available, the Momentum series
is appropriate for any fishing application, including
Spey.
