The large arbor spool includes an innovative line channel for cleanly hiding arbor knots when winding on backing.  The Ross Reels signature bell-shaped arbor design also adds strength, while helping to self-level the fly line across the face of the spool as it is retrieved. The LTX also incorporates a handle machined from canvas phenolic rod (another Ross Reels innovation), which reduces weight, adds durability, and increases grip when wet,
These improvements make the LTX a true light saltwater contender, perfectly at home on the flats as it is on the shores of a western river.  These meticulously designed features of the LTX converge in a light weight package, redefining the trout reel for another generation.FULLY MACHINED COMPONENTSMachined canvas phenolic handle reduces weight and adds gripFrame / Spool made from a 6061-T6 proprietary aluminum alloy, specifically engineered for Ross ReelsOil impregnated bronze bushing rotating on a stainless steel spindle HIGH-PERFORMANCE DRAG SYSTEMBased on the engineered stacked-disc system in the Evolution ROver 4-times the drag strength of the Evolution LT® FINISHHard anodized for the perfect balance of durability and color AVAILABLE COLORSBlack and
