Lamson Litespeed F Fly Reel
Description
The Lamson Litespeed F Fly Reel is built around an impressive combination of low weight and fast line retrieval. Designed specifically for freshwater fishing, it uses an ultra-large arbor and open, lightweight frame to pick up line quickly without adding unnecessary weight to the rod.
Lamson's space-frame construction strategically places material along critical load paths, creating a reel that's both rigid and remarkably light. The 5-weight model weighs just 3.6 ounces, while the largest 7+ comes in at only 4.4 ounces despite its 4-inch diameter.
Inside is Lamson's proven sealed conical drag system, updated with re-engineered seals for improved reliability and waterproofing. A unique spring system creates a linear progression of drag pressure with particularly fine adjustment at the lighter end—ideal for protecting light trout tippets while still providing plenty of stopping power when a larger fish gets into the backing.
The super-arbor spool provides fast line pickup, reduces line memory, and helps maintain more consistent drag pressure as line leaves the reel. Its open architecture also allows wet fly line and backing to dry quickly after a day on the water.
Available in three sizes covering 2- through 8-weight rods, the Lamson Litespeed F is a premium freshwater reel for anglers looking for maximum retrieval efficiency, minimal weight, and a smooth sealed drag.
