MAINTENANCE
Q: My Ross reel is showing its age. How do I touch it up? Can you refinish it to look new?
A: A “Sharpie” marker works well at covering up small nicks and scratches. For a more permanent fix, try a product called “Aluminum Black,” which you can find at your local sporting goods store. Due to our tight manufacturing tolerances and the way anodization works, we're not able to re-anodize our reels without altering the fit and function.
Q: Can I use my Ross in saltwater? What’s the best way to clean it?
A: All Ross reels are designed for use in both fresh and salt water. After a day in the salt, remove your spool, open (loosen) the drag completely, and soak the reel in clean water for a half hour or so. Then rinse/flush it with running fresh water and let air dry. Do not add any grease or oil!
Q: Should I lubricate my reel? What kind of lubricant?
A: No lubrication is needed on any Ross adjustable drag reel. Adding grease or oil can actually cause damage, and a drag failure
GENERAL
Q: I have an older Ross. Do you offer spools for your discontinued reels?
A: Yes! We offer spare spools (only in black) for all of our discontinued reels. These can be special ordered through any of our authorized Ross dealers.
Q: I looked at your dealer locator, but there are no Ross dealers local to me. Can I buy directly from Ross?
A: Unfortunately, no. However, we do have several preferred online retailers that can be found through links on each of our product pages.
Q: I would like to know the (backing capacity, weight, diameter) of a specific model.
A: Check out our Product Help page. All the published specifications on our reels, past and present, are at your fingertips.
Q: Where are you located?
A: The Ross manufacturing plant and service department is located in Montrose, Colorado, and our offices and warehouse are in Midland, Michigan. For specific inquiries, please contact us.
Q: Do you offer an Outdoor Pro/Guide program? How do I enroll?
A: We do offer an exclusive Outdoor Pro/Guide program. For more information, please send us an e-mail with appropriate documentation attached (guide license, business card, etc.).
Q: I have an old Ross reel. How much is it worth?
A: Some of the older Ross reels are sought-after and collectible. The best way to get a current value is to check online auction sites and the For Sale pages of fly fishing forums.
Q: Can you mail me a Ross catalog?
A: Instead of printing a catalog we decided to save some trees! The fact is... a print catalog can no longer compete with an interactive digital version. We encourage you to take some time and surf around our website. We are confident that you will enjoy many of its features including product videos, exploded-view diagrams, an enhanced dealer search and a product help database.
Q: Can you send me an email newsletter then?
A: Sure. Sign up for our e-newsletter, “In the Loop,” here. You should also follow us on Facebook and Twitter for up-to-the-minute news, product info, and even a few giveaways.
