{"product_id":"2026-ross-evolution-r-liberty-5-6","title":"Ross Evolution R Liberty 5\/6","description":"\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"0\"\u003eRoss Animas Liberty: A patriotic red, white, and blue edition featuring a bell-shaped arbor, composite drag, and mountain silhouette. USA-made in Colorado.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Evolution R is the culmination of our engineers’ and machinists’ artistic and technical prowess. It features a fully sealed carbon fiber drag with an industry-best power-to-weight ratio. Encased in a super lightweight frame, all models are less than 5.2 oz. The innovative shape of the ultra-large arbor spool is engineered to force the even winding of the line across the face of the spool as it is retrieved - something never before seen in a fly reel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMachining a fly reel is as much art as it is skill. Just as a perfect loop flying over the water is a thing of beauty crafted by the caster, the Evolution R is the culmination of our engineers’ and machinists’ artistic and technical prowess.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Evolution R is not only lightweight, but also incredibly rigid and durable, with a unique geometry that is as functional as it is stylish. The innovative shape of the ultra-large arbor spool is engineered to force the even winding of the line across the face of the spool as it is retrieved - something never before seen in a fly reel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe new drag design is also an industry first:  a fully sealed, bonded proprietary carbon fluoropolymer and stainless steel interface that delivers smooth power in a lightweight, compact package. Start up inertia is virtually non-existent to protect the most delicate of tippet. The Evolution R’s extremely wide range of brake adjustment also manages to produce some of the highest drag pressure found in a fly reel. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis all is controlled by a subtle yet striking, frame-integrated drag knob that blends perfectly into the form of the reel. Its solid grip allows for easy manipulation of settings - even while wearing gloves. Couple this with the canvas phenolic handle, first introduced by Ross Reels, the on-the-water functionality of the Evolution R is second to none.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKey Features:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eAll models less than 5.2 oz and fully machined from 6061-T6 proprietary aluminum alloy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eIndustry leading power-to-weight ratio in a fully sealed system | Proprietary carbon fiber and stainless steel disc stack\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eAll internal components are machined stainless steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eFully machined canvas phenolic rod, resting on a 7075-T6 chromated aluminum post yields reduced weight and increased grip when wet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eType II anodized for the perfect balance of hardness and color\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003eQuick release spool and easy left-hand to right-hand retrieve conversion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003e4wt. - 8wt.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003eDesigned for use in all freshwater, warmwater, and saltwater fishing environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMade in Montrose, CO\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"responsive-table\"\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSIZE\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eWIDTH\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDIAMETER\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eWEIGHT\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eLINE WEIGHT\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCAPACITY\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd data-label=\"SIZE\"\u003e4 | 5\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-label=\"ARBOR WIDTH\"\u003e0.97\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-label=\"DIAMETER\"\u003e3.53\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-label=\"WEIGHT\"\u003e4.82 oz.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-label=\"LINE WEIGHT\"\u003e4-5wt.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-label=\"CAPACITY\"\u003eWF4+100\u003cbr\u003eWF5+75\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd data-label=\"SIZE\"\u003e5 | 6\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-label=\"ARBOR WIDTH\"\u003e0.97\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-label=\"DIAMETER\"\u003e3.78\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-label=\"WEIGHT\"\u003e5.03 oz.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-label=\"LINE WEIGHT\"\u003e5-6wt.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-label=\"CAPACITY\"\u003eWF5+115\u003cbr\u003eWF6+90\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Ross","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45973100986543,"sku":"MRFC-","price":599.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0150\/8042\/3488\/files\/2026-Ross-Evolution-R-Liberty-5-6-1.jpg?v=1779309731","url":"https:\/\/www.mrfc.com\/products\/2026-ross-evolution-r-liberty-5-6","provider":"Madison River Fishing Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
