Platinum & Black
One of the favorite reel and rod pairings among fly fishers has been the Ross Colorado reel locked into a Scott fly rod. Anglers have been pairing these two together for years. I too find them a natural combination of rod and reel that are very enjoyable to fish in small stream environments. While the Colorado 2/3 reel fits perfectly on my GS 773 rod, I did run into a snag with my Colorado 4/5 when pairing it with the G2 804 rod. The 4/5 reel's large diameter sits quite a bit behind the butt of the 804 rod, and it just doesn't look right for me. To solve that issue, I put a WF4F fly line on a black Colorado 2/3 reel and it sits just right, with the same balanced aesthetic as a Colorado 2/3 on my 7'7" 3wt Scott GS rod. Problem fixed. These four-piece Scott rods paired with Colorado reels are stellar kits for a road trip to little trout streams. They look the same, fish the same, and casts the same. A very nice quiver!
