from 555 reviewsThis is one of the best rods I’ve fished at any price point. Buy it! You’ll be glad you did.
After trying my friends Cobalt 7 wt I had to have one. It is an amazing rod for chasing smallmouth bass. These hard fighting fish are a thrill, and the Cobalt’s light weight and backbone allow the angler to enjoy every pull. The fast action has tons of power for casting larger flies on windy days. I can see myself adding a 9 wt to my collection for Great Lakes salmon!
Great full cage reel with a solid drag system that has a wide range of adjustability. A good reel is a very underrated aspect for euro nymphing with a micro leader. If you have full confidence in your reel and the ability to dial in the drag just right there’s no need to try and strip in the tiny line by hand and I have full confidence in the guru s hd.
I prefer these bags to the Simms Bounty Hunter because these are all mesh and it's easier to rinse your reels off at the end of the day.
Have used both 7+ & 9+ to land 30"+ trout, kundja, salmon, jack crevalle, permit and tarpon. Great backing capacity and drag adjustment.
I love this reel. It’s light-weight, has a solid strong drag, looks great, retrieves great and at this price ($209) is probably the best reel on the market for the money. With other brands you’d need to spend double or more to get this quality in a fully machined reel.
Brought a two foot carp to hand in a river with the 3+. Was targeting small small mouths when this school bus lumbered by, couldn't resist. I credit this drag to the success. I have several Lamson reels for fresh and salt along with many other brands - I will continue to add more Lamsons.
Paird the Remix 9+ with a Spey rod (first set up - Amy at Deschutes Angler in Maupin, OR got me set up - shout out - they’re the best) and five casts in on some juicy water on the Deschutes - BAM! Nice steelhead. The drag is easy to change - I have a Euro Nymph reel from another company - i love it - but the drag is almost too complicated. That’s what I get for spending too much money on a line holder - but I still love it for trout. This Lamson looks good, sounds good and looks well made.
Love 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?
