Ross Evolution LT Crimson Red Fly Reel — Made in USA

The Evolution series defined the modern trout reel, and the LTX is the version that took the platform to the next level. The Crimson Red edition is the one we hang on the wall first when a new shipment shows up. Made right here in Montrose, the Evolution LTX Liberty pairs the original Evolution LT's feel with the Evolution R's stopping power in a meticulously designed, lightweight package.

The ultra-smooth drag that built the Evolution's reputation has a long and revered history, and the engineering team took that design to the next level. The drag that debuted with the LTX is over four times stronger than its predecessors, while retaining the sound and feel that helped make the Evolution an icon. That means it performs as a perfect trout reel for the Gunnison and the Uncompahgre, and it has the power to take on saltwater game fish like redfish, bonefish, and snook when you head south.

The large arbor spool includes an innovative line channel for cleanly hiding arbor knots when winding on backing. The Ross signature bell-shaped arbor adds strength while helping to self-level the fly line across the face of the spool as it is retrieved.

The LTX runs a handle machined from canvas phenolic rod, another Ross innovation, which reduces weight, adds durability, and increases grip when wet. These features converge in a package that is as at home on the flats as it is on the shores of a Western Slope river.

The Crimson Red edition is a limited release and is not eligible for promotional pricing.

Oily situation lol

Honestly how do you write a review of this product? I would have to run tests for years on multiple oils on various engines to do so. The value was good however and shipping was great

Works well. You need to drill a 3/8” hole
Appears to be well made, alignment bar slides in nicely. As stated, you need to drill a hole in the bar for the gimble bearing driver, the directions are not clear, what I did was before I take out the old gimble bearing, put an O ring on the bar close to the last step on the bar, slide the bar all the way in, then carefully slide the bar out, this marks the distance from the back of the gimble bearing to where the shaft on the outdrive bottoms out, move the O ring a 1/4” towards the stepped part of the alignment tool (this is so you won’t bottom out the alignment tool when driving the gimble bearing in) then slide the driver puck up to the O ring and use a 3/8” diameter transfer punch through the side hole in the puck to mark the bar. You need to drill a 3/8” diameter hole in the alignment bar, two V blocks, some clamps, and a drill press will make drilling much easier, after the bar is securely mounted and centered in the drill press, use a center drill, then 1/4” drill first, using plenty of oil, drill all the way through, then use the 3/8” drill, deburr both sides and you should be good to go. People complain that it doesn’t come pre-drilled, the reason is that not all out drives are the same so you have to fit it to the outdrive that you have. Fortunately, I have a machine shop at my house and have a jig setup with various drill bushings, but the method I described above should work for you. Just make sure you’re perfectly centered and secure before you start drilling.

Worked for Volvo Penta SX Gimbal Bearing
Very heavy tool, I was surprised. Pulled my bearing like it was nothing. Putting the new bearing in was a little more difficult as you have to drill a hole in the engine alignment shaft where it will work for your particular outdrive. Not hard, but it does not come pre-drilled as the required depth for each particular gimbal bearing differs by manufacturer and model. Measure your bearing placement before removal and check that it was installed correctly in the first place. The bearing should line up with the grease fitting and the o-rings on the drive shaft should end up riding in the middle of the bearing. once you have your measurement drill the hole, I used a drill press. I suppose you could use it on multiple outdrive models as long as you can drill more holes.
