I am a fan of Ross reels and I am looking at purchasing a new one. I have not purchased a Ross reel in some time and their product line has changed so I need some input from my fellow fly fishermen.

I am looking at either the Cimarron Large Arbor or the Rhythm for a 6 to 8 wt. The drag system is fairly important as I will be using this reel for larger fish and I will use it in both fresh and salt water. So some of you who own one or both of these reels, what are the pros and cons and what do you recommend?

Thank you in advance.
