Ross Reels has launched the newest version of the Cimarron reel, which they’re calling the first “open-source click-pawl reel ever made.”
The unique selling point of this version of the Cimarron Creek is its ability to quickly and easily swap pawls – the little gear that provides sound and resistance in a click-and-pawl reel system. Ross says this will allow anglers the ability to customize the sound and drag of their reels, with up to 10 combinations available to choose from.
What makes this “open-source” is that Ross will provide files for anglers to download who want to create their own pawls at home.
“Additional pawls are available for purchase, and for anglers who want to take customization even further, Ross offers downloadable e-files that allow you to 3D print your own pawls at home, experimenting with different materials, colors, and designs,” the company’s website reads.
This Cimarron Creek is available in three sizes – 2/3, 4/5, and 5/6, and four colors in black, platinum, blue, and olive. This version of the Cimarron will retail for $249. The Cimarron Creek is also built in America at Ross’s Montrose, Colorado facility. The frame is fully machined aluminum, and sports a large arbor for quick line retrieve.
