The Colorado LT set the bar for lightweight click pawl reels. The new Colorado takes it to the next level.

This thoroughly updated design brings a beautiful aesthetic defined by aerodynamic shapes and surfaces. The look of this reel is different from anything on the market today. A novel, all-metal external clicker accentuates the back of the reel, complete with a hand painted Colorado cutthroat clicker plate and a classic click-pawl sound. The spool is even more open than its predecessor, making the face of the reel appear spacious and clean, with the beveled large arbor showing off the backing and line just as well as it picks it up.

The semi-caged frame adds unmatched strength and rigidity, but with only a minimal weight gain – just enough to balance out a wider range of lightweight rods. The industry-first bushing is fully machined from Vesconite – a material specifically designed to be used in the toughest marine bearing applications, guaranteeing a lifetime of flawless operation.

Classic sound and feel meets modern strength and design to make the Colorado a functional piece of art – both on and off the water. With every angle and material carefully analyzed and considered, the new Colorado is designed to be fished from small streams to big rivers and everything in between.
