The Ross Worldwide Reach Series Spey Rods were designed with the help of an underground group of soulful spey junkies that eat, sleep and breathe big water, big fish and two-handed rods. Ross set out to produce a series of spey rods that will handle a full range of fly s and successfully execute all types of spey and skagit casts. Mission accomplished! These 4-piece, fast action rods are made from Ross's proprietary R-4 grate design, resulting in a series that is lightweight, powerful and precise. The rods load deep into the core, allowing for a fast action design that still maintains casting sensitivity and tremendous rol. The Reach series easily covers big water, be it with AFS, skagit style or longer bellied spey is lightweight rod series is easily cast by anglers of all skill levels. Once you have experienced the sensitivity, responsiveness and performance of the Ross Worldwide Reach Series Spey Rods, you will be left wondering why it doesn't cost twice as much.
