Ross Flycast 2

[agate]

I am looking for more information on Ross Flycast 2 or Ross Flycast reels

* Are these made in USA?
* looks like they were made around 2009?
* It says hybrid, not sure what that means
Flycast 2 is 3.25 inches in diameter
weight 5.6 Oz

They were sold around $ 80.00

Thanks

They were cast and made in China.
I believe “hybrid” was used as term saying it is a mid-arbor, somewhere between a large and traditional arbor.
They were a good value as a pricepoint/starter reel.

A bit of a better class of Ross reel is the Colorado.







Though not made in great big sizes.. they fit nicely for budget trout reels.

Is this Ross Colorado Reel?
The ross Colorado reel on their website is different looking, may be new one.
