TIEMCO Ross Reels Animas Fly Fishing Reel | Ultra-Large Arbor, Lightweight 7-8wt, Matte Black

Elevated performance for freshwater and saltwater adventures

The Ross Reels Animas Fly Reel blends rugged durability with lightweight precision, designed to withstand varied fishing environments from mountain streams to seaside outings. A fully redesigned frame and spool geometry reduce unnecessary bulk while preserving strength, delivering a streamlined silhouette that still withstands the elements. The result is a reel that feels responsive when the line comes tight and looks at home on the water in matte black finish.

Key design touches include an ultra-large bell-shaped arbor that helps minimize line memory and speeds up line pickup, a durable canvas phenolic handle that maintains grip when wet, and a spool release engineered for maintenance-free operation between trips. Built to handle both fresh and saltwater scenarios, the Animas rides on a time-tested drag system with modern refinements, offering confident performance for anglers who value reliability as much as feel.

What makes the Animas stand out

• INNOVATIVE FLY REELS - Modern machining meets time-proven design for versatile freshwater and saltwater use.
• HIGH-PERFORMANCE DRAG SYSTEM - A composite-disc drag with a stainless steel interface delivers more power with steady, controlled stops.
• ERGONOMIC DESIGN - Redesigned frame and spool geometry reduce weight while increasing strength, with a visual nod to the Colorado mountains.
• HIGH-QUALITY MATERIALS - Intricate machining and a reduced-weight frame yield durability and long service life.
• LIGHTWEIGHT REEL HANDLE - The canvas phenolic handle stays tacky when wet for secure, reliable grip.

Built for versatility and everyday reliability

With an ultra-large arbor that supports smooth, fast line management, the Animas is suited for a range of line weights and fisheries. The maintenance-free spool release minimizes downtime between trips, while the two-tone aluminum accents offer a refined aesthetic that stands up to tough conditions. Whether you are stalking trout in a brisk river or casting to coastal flats, this reel is designed to perform with confidence, without promising guarantees. Instead, it presents a set of possibilities built on robust engineering and a long-standing design heritage.
