The original Ross Evolution 1.5 is a beloved reel among trout anglers, known for its exceptional balance of lightweight design, smooth drag performance and durable American craftsmanship. Designed to handle 3 to 5 weight lines, the Evolution 1.5 hits a sweet spot for versatile trout setups—perfect for everything from small dry flies on creeks to nymphing on mid-sized rivers.
Machined from high-grade aerospace aluminum and featuring a large arbor spool, the Evolution 1.5 offers fast line pickup and excellent line management. Its drag system—sealed, maintenance-free and built with carbon fiber and stainless steel—delivers buttery-smooth startup inertia, making it ideal for protecting fine tippets while still offering reliable stopping power.
