Ross - RR3.5 Fly Reel

For sale here is an original Ross RR 3.5 fly reel in mint condition. An early offering from Ross, made in Etna California. Featuring black anodized finish, solid frame & spool, and adjustable drag with neutral bias (can be fished LHW or RHW). 3.4" diameter with a spool interior width of 0.85". Weight is 4.41oz. This larger RR size is less frequently seen than the 1's, 2's & 3's. Capacity is for a DT8 + 165 but it seems like more of a 6 or 7wt reel. Unused and sold in the original box with pouch & papers.  

This item comes from Dean Malencik’s generous donation of vintage rods & reels to Trout Unlimited. Proceeds from the sale benefit both the national organization of Trout Unlimited and your local chapters. Learn more about Dean’s gift in the March 2025 issue of Trout Magazine
