Lamson reels

Lamson Litespeed Reel  Is machined in the U.S. from barstock aluminum offering a very fine, high performance large arbor reel at great value. One thing you notice when fishing this reel is the superb drag system. The smallest turn on the drag knob instantly increases or decreases the drag and enables extremely light drag settings for fishing smaller fish, or heavier settings for those big rainbows. The drag ,Torrington zero-lash clutch system, uses ramps and rollers as opposed to a gear system allowing instant engagement without the jerk of a standard pawl clutch setup. The reel is a breeze to clean with no worries about sand getting into the mechanism as the drag system is completely sealed.

The Lamson reel performs extremely well that would impress those of the highest expectations. A great reel for trout fishing.
