There are few brands that match the Big Y style as much as Lamson reels. Arguably one of the most influential reel brands, Lamson has been at the forefront of fly fishing for decades now.
We are tremendously excited to see them here
in the shop. We want to provide high
quality gear to our customers, but we don’t think that they need to go broke
buying it. Lamson fits into the picture
really well with a mix of great reels in all price points.
All of Lamson’s reels come with their high-quality conical rulon drag system. It features consistent function across a wide range of settings and
incredible reliability. The genius of the drag system is that it can be very finely adjusted and takes very little startup inertia to get the spool moving. Years of field-testing and fine tuning has led to the most reliable drag system out there.
The Liquid and Remix reels are a high-quality product with a great reputation. Die-casting aluminum instead of machining it is a great way to shave a few bucks off the price of a reel. Both models are built for budget-conscious anglers that need quality gear.
The Liquid is fully die-cast like many other popular reels like the Behemoth or the Clearwater.
The Remix offers a machined frame with a die-cast spool. Both of these reels have a smooth, clean look, and provide excellent performance. One cool feature is the color sleeves that you can add to these reels that will add an element of customization. It adds some color options to the center post/drag system.
The Liquid and the Remix are both offered in a 3-pack, which includes a reel and two spare spools with a nice soft case.
The Guru is the first fully machined reel that many, many anglers have purchased. The Guru S series has a high-quality design, great balance and sleek looks.
This has all the features you would want in a high-end reel at a mid-level price. This reel is surprisingly lightweight and sturdy and performs like reels at twice the price. Made in the USA and fully machined, a great deal.
The Speedster and the Litespeed are two top-end performance reels that works as good as they look. Perfect machining, high-end design and precise weight distribution put these badboys right against any reel on the market. Made in the USA, tested and retested, these are high-performance machines.
The Litespeed is a little wider across with a slightly smaller spool width the the Speedster. It allows for a higher rate of line pickup. Both feature weight distribution that allows for less material without reducing integrity, as well as allowing for smoother operation. Proper weight distribution allows the reel to be retrieved without any force causing wobble that hinders performance. Either way you go, neither of these reels will not disappoint.
