Ross Evolution LTX Spool
The Ross Reels Evolution series defined the modern trout reel. Now meet the award-winning Evolution LTX: the perfect combination of original Evolution LT feel and Evolution R performance.
The ultra-smooth drag found in the Evolution LT has a long and revered history, but our engineering team took this design to the next level. The drag debuting with the LTX is over four times stronger than its predecessors’, while retaining the sound and feel that helped make the Evolution an icon. This allows it to perform not only as a perfect trout reel, but also has the power to take on saltwater game fish like Redfish, Bonefish, and Snook.
The large arbor spool includes an innovative line channel for cleanly hiding arbor knots when winding on backing. The Ross Reels signature design ensures reliable performance and smooth operation in various fishing conditions.

I’ve used the Evolution LTX for both freshwater and saltwater fishing. The drag is noticeably stronger than the LT model, and it still feels smooth and responsive. The line channel keeps knots hidden, which is a big plus when fishing with long backing.

Great for trout fishing, and surprisingly capable with redfish. The drag strength is impressive, and the spool design makes it easy to manage backing without knot visibility issues.
