Machining a fly reel is as much art as it is skill. Just as a perfect loop flying over the water is a thing of beauty, crafted by the caster, the Evolution R is the culmination of our engineers’ and machinists’ artistic and technical prowess.

The R is not only lightweight, but also incredibly rigid and durable, with a unique geometry that is as functional as it is stylish. The innovative shape of the ultra-large arbor spool is engineered to force the even winding of the line across the face of the spool as it is retrieved - something never before seen in a fly reel.

The drag design is also an industry first: a fully sealed, bonded carbon fluoropolymer and stainless steel interface that delivers smooth power in a lightweight, compact package. Start up inertia is virtually nonexistent to protect the most delicate of tippet. The R’s extremely wide range of brake adjustment also manages to produce some of the highest drag pressure found in an ultralight fly reel.

This all is controlled by a subtle yet striking, frameintegrated drag knob that blends perfectly into the form of the reel. Its solid grip allows for easy manipulation of settings - even while wearing gloves. Couple this with the canvas phenolic handle, first introduced by Ross Reels, the on-the-water functionality of the R is like no other.
