Lasted the test of strong trout,
May 24, 2009
By lmflyfishing

"This spring I had the luxury of encountering some of the largest and strongest trout on Antero reservoir. Runs into your backing with steelhead displays out of the water. The Vexis lived up to the challenge. This sold me on the reel knowing it will stand up to the biggest battles. The only thing to be cautious of is getting the reel wet by holding it in the water. It can affect the release of line during the fight. This is can be fixed right away by drying the drag off."

"As someone who guides over 150 days in Alaska and another 100+ in Saltwater environments from the Florida Keys to Baja, I put products through the ringer. I recently was able to test the Ross Momentum LT #6 in Baja. I put the reel on a Sage TCX 10 wt. and caught both Jack Crevalle and Roosterfish to over 40 lbs. The reel balanced perfectly on the rod, and I was able to load it with over 300 yards of 50 lb. gel spun backing. The reel performed flawlessly, with an incredible range on drag adjustment and a pleasing outgoing click when the fish took off. Of course you just can't beat Ross for customer service and a product that is made in the USA. If you're looking for a great value and a ton of reel for the money, take a close look at the Ross Momentum LT!"

Ross Vexsis Reels - UNREAL,
April 29, 2009
By Mezz

""Simply phenomenal! Many people in the world of fly fishing, especially those who fish fresh water, will tell you that a reel is for line storage. In some instances, fishing small beaver ponds or that brook out behind the house, I would agree. But what about those streams with “a few nice surprises”? What about those waters that you know your personal best fish will come from, you just don’t know when. Those are the times that the Ross Vexsis shines through. This reel from Ross has everything you could want in a reel: functionality, good weight balance, incredible stopping power, and unnoticeable start up inertia. Add on top of that the magnetic spool release and a drag with no click stops, just smooth increase at whatever increment you need. Oh yeah, throw in good looks just for fun and a great price and you have just found this anglers reel of choice for a long, long time to come. I have these reels on two pair of 3WT and 5WT rods and love the Ross Vexsis for both!
I went out with a client the first time he fished his. He is relatively new to the sport and said, “I am not sure I will be able to tell the difference.” He had been fishing a hand-me-down for a couple years. We hadn’t been in the water two minutes and he said, “Wow, I wish all fly fishing products made such huge improvements. I would change out my entire fly fishing outfit!”
Again, put in plain terms, the Ross Vexsis Series reels are UNREAL! Fish one and you will agree.""

Ross Does it Again!,

"I got my first Vexsis Reel for my 7-weight in January and I am incredibly impressed! This reel is lightweight, has a smooth drag and just plain feels good on the rod. This is a great reel! Next I will purchase the 1.5 for my 4-weight to subdue big fish from the local spring creeks."
