*This is a great place to start in a fly reel. Ross quality at a reasonable price. The # 4 works great on 7 and 8 weight bass rods.

The Flystart is a hybrid large arbor fly reel that is affordably priced, yet built with the same commitment to quality and performance as all Ross reels. The drag system is dependable and smooth with a wide range of adjustment. Fly fishing is a sport that everyone can enjoy, but for many people, the price of fly tackle is often a barrier to participation. The Ross team was committed to producing an introductory priced fly reel that would still perform to the expectations of even the most experienced angler, and the Flystart series perfectly meets this goal. You will be amazed with its quality in manufacturing tolerance, drag performance and durability. The Flystart is a great reel for the first-time fly fishing participant that demands quality, but does not want to spend a fortune gearing up to fish.
