High winds. Big water. Big fish. Saltwater fly-fishing demands a specialized series of rods to meet these inherent challenges. The XST (Extreme Saltwater Taper) is that series. Making quick casts to moving fish from more than 70-feet away is just one of the scenarios in which our XST series of rods excel. The Generation III high-modulus graphite and super-fast actions makes it easy to form tight loops that slice through the strongest winds and the powerful butt sections subdue the largest fish in a short amount of time. All XST rod components match pleasing aesthetics with high-end performance: high-grade cork handle, black aluminum reel seat, chrome double-foot snake guides and an SIC stripper guide. 25-year warranty. With 6.3 sq. in. of effective drag surface and 12 lbs. of dead lift weight, the Momentum series boasts three times the effective stopping power of any drag system. Ross Reels teamed with Kestrel USA (the first name in carbon fiber) to merge the stiffness, strength, heat resistance and shock-dampening capabilities of carbon into the Momentum's drag system. The first time you fish these ground-breaking new reels, you'll be instantly impressed with the meticulous machining and comfortable, ergonomic design. Each reel is custom fit with a large, but unobtrusive drag knob, which can be easily found for quick adjustments during the battle. Plus, the handle has been specially designed to fit comfortably between your fingers, but will never slip free when taking on a hard-fighting fish. Each reel has a 6061-T6 frame and spool, built to strict dimensions with a specific diameter and width to maximize the properties of drag consistency and line retrieval. And by adding titanium drag components, a quick-release locking spool and water-shedding grooves on the palming rim, you have the ultimate big-game fly-fishing reel. Combo includes rod, reel and rod tube.
