declicking a Ross Colorado

[Gary Grossman]

Long story short, I’ve got a Ross Colorado 2 and I’m wondering if you can turn the “click” off without dismantling the drag.

Why man, why?

Sorry, I just feel that the Ross “click” is the sexiest reel noise out there.

I know, I know, it’s a classic sound, isn’t it.

Not possible, Gary; the clicker is the only check against free-spooling with that model.

There’s no disputing about taste?

I like that one.

Try wearing headphones with nature sounds turned way up to drown out the sound of the click.

[Gary Grossman]

hehehe Spencer, one of my kids uses that nature noise to fall asleep by. g

I’d PM ya with an offer, but since I already have a new saltwater rig coming, I wouldn’t get to keep the Ross in the divorce that would surely follow.

Because of this hard click I dropped the idea of getting the Ross Gunisson as my reel of choice a decade ago.
The Ross reel looked (and still does) very handsome, built to last and had a great drag. But the clicker was so noisy!…

Now when I fish my bamboo rods I prefer matching it with a classic reel being either an Orvis CFO III, Hardy Perfect or a Winston Perfect. And guess what? These reels are NOISY! But a sweet noise it is when a fish runs.

So, maybe you should just enjoy the clicker and start catching those big fish! 😉

Ironically, the clicker on the Gunnison is completely cosmetic and removable!

No, not a travel film
