Ross Gunnison G-1 fly fishing reel and 2 spools - $300

[ricm]

Ross Gunnison G-1 reel and TWO extra boxed spools (THREE total). Pre-1992. Purchased personally from Bill in the mid 80s. Includes an unused, spooled Cortland 444SL WF-4 or 5 floating.

Reel is in excellent condition (no box), spools are like new in factory boxes. All hardly fished. No frills, disc drag, indestructible
workhorses. Will fit WF5 + fifty yards yards backing. Perfect for a small, lightweight #3-4 rod.

$300 Or Best Reasonable Offer. Buyer pays shipping.

[Bill Kiene semi-retired]

The Ross Gunnison reel was the top dog in its day, for a dependable, disc drag fly reel.

This is the smallest size that is good for a 3 or 4 weight fly rod.

Also good for a shorter 5 weight rod, even fiberglass or split cane.

This one is in rare, excellent condition.


All that was around $500 when purchased new.

So $300 or best reasonable offer sounds fair.

Back then the largest Ross dealers in California were The Fly Shop in Redding, Fly Fishing Outfitters in San Francisco, and Kiene's Fly

Shop in Sacramento.


Most fly fishers going to places like Montana, British Columbia, Alaska or New Zealand would have a new Ross

Gunnison fly reel.
