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.

Features
  • Super Arbor Design – Oversized diameter provides exceptionally fast line pickup, helping eliminate slack and maintain contact with fast-moving fish.
  • Narrow Spool Profile – Helps prevent line from piling or "barreling" toward one side of the spool during fast retrieves.
  • Inboard-Mounted Handle – Works with the reel's oversized circumference to improve retrieval efficiency.
  • Sealed Conical Drag – Lamson's proven drag system provides smooth, consistent pressure with plenty of stopping power when needed.
  • Freshwater & Saltwater Ready – Sealed drag construction helps keep water and debris away from critical components.
  • Fully CNC-Machined Construction – Precision-machined frame and spool provide excellent strength, rigidity, and durability.
  • 6061 Aluminum & Stainless Steel – Quality materials provide strength while keeping overall reel weight remarkably low.
  • Lightweight Design – Strategic machining places material where it's needed and removes it where it isn't, resulting in an extremely light reel for its diameter.
  • Fast Line Pickup – Large spool circumference retrieves more line with every revolution, particularly useful when fish quickly change direction.
  • Reduced Line Memory – Large arbor helps minimize tight coils and memory in fly line.
  • Consistent Drag Performance – Large arbor reduces dramatic changes in effective spool diameter as line leaves the reel, helping maintain more consistent drag pressure.
  • Type II Anodized Finish – Provides additional protection and a durable finished surface.
  • Interchangeable Spools – Standard Speedster S spools are compatible with Speedster S HD reels of the corresponding size.
  • Made in the USA – Manufactured and built in Idaho.
