Lamson Speedster S Reel
Description
The Lamson Speedster S Fly Reel is built around one thing: speed. Its oversized diameter and super-large arbor pick up line quickly, making it easier to eliminate slack and stay connected when a fish suddenly changes direction or charges back toward us.
Unlike many oversized reels, the Speedster S uses a narrow spool profile that helps prevent line from piling up unevenly during fast retrieves. An inboard-mounted handle and large circumference further improve retrieval efficiency, giving the reel its distinctive combination of high line pickup and remarkably low weight.
Inside is Lamson's proven sealed conical drag system, providing smooth, consistent pressure with plenty of stopping power at the upper end. The sealed design keeps water and debris away from critical drag components and allows the Speedster S to be fished confidently in both freshwater and saltwater.
The frame and spool are fully CNC machined from 6061 aluminum, with material strategically removed to reduce weight without sacrificing the rigidity needed during a fight. The result is impressive—a 6/7/8-weight Speedster S weighs just 4.73 ounces while still providing 180 yards of 20 lb backing capacity.
Available in four sizes covering 2- through 10-weight rods, the Lamson Speedster S is an excellent choice for anglers who want a lightweight reel with exceptionally fast line pickup and a proven sealed drag.
