Available for Pre-order ONLY - Starts Shipping April 2017 The Evolution R is the culmination of our engineers' and machinists' artistic and technical prowess. It features a fully sealed carbon fiber drag with an industry-best power-to-weight ratio. Encased in a super lightweight frame, all models are less than 4.5 oz. The innovative shape of the ultra-large arbor spool is engineered to force the even winding of the line across the face of the spool as it is retrieved, something never before seen in a fly reel. The Evolution R is not only lightweight but also incredibly rigid and durable, with a unique geometry that is as functional as it is stylish. The new drag design is also an industry first: a fully sealed, bonded proprietary carbon fluoropolymer and stainless steel interface that delivers smooth power in a lightweight, compact package. Start-up inertia is virtually non-existent to protect the most delicate of tippets. The Evolution R's extremely wide range of brake adjustment also manages to produce some of the highest drag pressure found in a fly reel. This all is controlled by a subtle yet striking, frame-integrated drag knob that blends perfectly into the form of the reel. Its solid grip allows for easy manipulation of settings, even while wearing gloves. Coupled with the canvas phenolic handle, first introduced by Ross Reels, the on-the-water functionality of the Evolution R is second to none. ULTRALIGHT WEIGHT All models less than 4.5 oz and fully machined from 6061-T6 proprietary aluminum alloy. SEALED DRAG Industry-leading power-to-weight ratio in a fully sealed system.
