Ross Reels is proud to partner with Trout Unlimited in an effort to restore native trout species throughout the U.S. As part of the Native Series, Ross Reels and Trout Unlimited strive to bring awareness and funding to the projects that support the revitalization of native trout species by releasing beautiful limited edition reels with designs inspired by the fish they seek to save.
$75 from every special edition reel will be contributed towards the Poudre Headwaters Project for restoring greenback cutthroats in their native range.
ABOUT THE GREENBACK CUTTHROAT TROUT:
- Colorado's official State Fish
- Once thought extinct, one remnant population was found near Colorado Springs and recovery efforts have built from there.
- The only native trout to the South Platte watershed in Colorado.
- A protected species – where fishing is allowed it is catch and release only – do your part and safely return all greenbacks unharmed to the water!
ABOUT THE GREENBACK CUTTHROAT REEL:
- The Greenback Cutthroat Reel is a special edition Colorado 2/3 reel.
- With only 495 of these special edition reels available, each one will include a number of 1 to 495, as well as “Greenback” on the reel foot.
- A novel, all-metal external clicker accentuates the back of the reel - complete with a hand painted greenback cutthroat clicker plate, emphasizing the inspiration for this limited edition.
- Unidirectional click-pawl drag with a crisp, audible sound
