Ross Worldwide is a manufacturer that’s recognized for its superb fly reels. Anyone who’s carried around a fly rod for more than a few years has heard of the Ross Cimarron, the Colorado, and the Gunnison. The company claims the honor of being the number-one selling fly reel brand in the United States. Beyond fly reels, Ross builds one of the finer Center Pin reels for those who practice that black art, as well as a uniquely adjustable reel arm that will help serious anglers dial perfect balance into their rigs. For more than 35 years, Ross has been setting standards for well-designed and innovative products, including some very fine fly rods.
I met Brad Befus, the National Sales Manager for Ross, at the ICAST trade show in July, 2009. During the course of our conversation in a booth stocked with precision-machined winches, towering spey rods and rugged fishing pliers, I caught sight of something exciting for any committed warm water fanatic. A bouquet of cool, bright green, the FlyStik® series is designed for those of us who spend inordinate amounts of time brooding over bass. A collection of three fly rods, the series is touted as “tournament length fly rods that could be legally fished in the Bassmaster Classic!” I’m eager to see that happen one day. I firmly believe there are times when a fly rod is the most effective instrument for fooling these aggressive fish. Besides which, having just finished reviewing a quartet of serious bass rods how could I resist adding the FlyStiks to the tally? Mr. Befus agreed to arrange for a 90-day loan of all three FlyStik fly rods.
