Smooth is the only way to describe the Islander Steelheader center pin float reel. Just grab the handle and spin the spool. Youd swear it was powered by batteries. No batteries just precision machining bearings and balance. The Islander Steelheader with its mirror like centre-pin screw to its flawless finish performs as good as it looks.

The Evolution series was designed to balance with today's modern rods. It is lightweight but built sturdy to ensure a lifetime of flawless performance. The spool has the perfect ratio of width to arbor diameter that provides all the benefits of large arbor technology. While other manufacturers settle for a standard width for their entire series of products, Ross has assigned each of the six sized Evolution reels a different width, ensuring the best match between diameter and width for each size. The Evolution will surpass the expectations of the most discriminating angler, and as with all Ross Reels, the Evolution is guaranteed for life.

A quality fly fishing reel that meets all the standards that Orvis demands of its best reels—durability, function, and appearance.
