from 546 reviewsLove my New Lamson Tshirt, got it earlier than I thought, Great service.👍
Another amazing product from an amazing company. I Run a full mono rig on my euro stuff and I have not had any slippage at all. I absolutely love this reel, the looks, the lines, the sound you can’t beat it. I hope you guys at Lamson think about adding a euro line of rods someday. Thanks again for designing a superior product.
I've been a Lamson reel fanatic since I got into the fly fishing game 12 years ago. The reels, specifically the drag system, are the best in the industry. I started to eye the rods about 6-8 months ago. In an emergency - due to a competitors rod weirdly breaking under the cork - I picked up a Velocity in a 5 wt. LET ME TELL YOU, it was the best decision I could've made. Tight loops, line management was insane, and the back bone to handle and land multiple fish over 22' and 4+ lbs that came up and CRUSHED FOAM. Going forward, I will have a quiver of Lamson rods (4-8). LAMSON V EVERYBODY
I just came back from a week in Alaska and this reel was perfect for Coho and Chum fishing with my 8wt rod. I never used anywhere near the available drag on fresh, large fish with sea lice still attached. Great weight and functioned flawlessly.
Heard very great things about this outfit,I was wondering if it comes Right or Left hand retrieve?
Got it paired up with my Scott Meridian 9’#7
Love it.
Perfect balanced
This rod goes way beyond what is in advertisements, beautiful and light in hand.
It's funny how life is about moving in circles...I've been fishing with the Lightspeed F for 2 years. While I love this reel, I wasn't using more than 2 clicks of the powerful drag. I hadn't used a click pawl reel since the Orvis Presentation I started out with in the 80s, but seeing the beauty of the Purist 2 (whisky) I set up a myUS account and had it shipped to London. I just put it through its paces for two days on the River Kennet and couldn't be happier. The clicker is set to just enough resistance: Whether stripping off line for a cast or singing out after a wild fish feels the hook and makes a 15 yard sprint to the opposite bank...
I played 20 + fish from 1 to 3lb in 2 days and only needed a little pointer finger pressure on the line for the most part. Palming the spool provided a full stop, when rarely needed.
I won't mention the price. It's a Lamson and a very high spec build. Nuf said. It perfectly balances with my Scott G 8643: I hardly notice the scant weight, which is great when you are casting up to 40 times to a single fish in a difficult lay with a #20 PT. I have a feeling that the weak point will be the Teflon(?) clicker, so I may order a few as spares...just in case, though I also have a feeling Lamson will be around long enough to supply me with another should it fail!
I taught myself to think the subtle manipulations required with a click pawl were a bother. Now I'm back where I started, loving them!
Thanks Lamson
Really enjoying this set up. The combination is a no brainer for every fishing adventure.
I love these reels, and did so 25 years ago. I’m amazed that these reels are relevant more so today than then.
Works perfectly to balance a longer 4 or 5 wt, or great for a 6-8wt 9’ rod. Ample drag, just works.
This reel is great. I have fished with the Guru a fair bit and this real is a slight upgrade on look and fell. No parts of the line get caught on this reel besides the handle. Very happy with the purchase.
I have been looking for a great dry fly rod for my guiding and the Velocity is it! My customers have already made good comments as well. For the price this rod will be hard to beat.
Thanks!!
