Let customers speak for us
I was impressed with this reel from the moment I took it out of the box. Even the box was elegant and cool. I purchased this for my new Scott GT 8’10” 4 wt, and it perfectly balances the rod. I find it a little unclear how to remove the spool, but it hasn’t been an issue so far. It is of high quality, and the color is perfect for my new rod. This is my first Lawson purchase, but I will surely be coming back for more!
Glad to have this spare spool. It will make line exchanges eminently easier.
The Liquid combo does not disappoint. I have a couple of the Liquid reels, and the Liquid S lived up to my expectations, but the rod and line are fabulous, and I would say they punch well above their weight. The only thing the rod needs are some index marks for assembly, and I will add them with a paint pen.
By far the best fly reel for under $200, sounds great and has an incredible drag system.
Enjoying the Lamson Remix 9+ chasing Redfish on the saltwater flats of north Florida. The Remix drag can handle most 35-inch and under redfish and the occasional flounder; although I prefer fighting the fish with palm action. The 9+ gives me room to switch spools from 8wt to 10wt during those seasons when pesky Jacks hammer my streamer.
For its cost, the Liquid S HD is an excellent reel exceeding in performance and workmanship. I enjoy it’s balance with 9’ & 10 ft rods that permits a full day on the water casting streamers.
Excellent reel, solid drag and great baking capacity. Very reliable.
Excellent reel! Perfect combo for changing lines. I have tried your big brother for #8 par Dorado fishing in the Parana River with very good performance.
I purchased an additional spool to go with my guru E series reel. Both the reel and the additional spool are great. The drag is easy to use and is very smooth. I matched it with a Maine company Euro nymphing 10 foot rod and the make a perfect pair!
Ditto what GB wrote in a previous review. I’m glad I looked at the Legacy items on sale! Very happy with all of my Lamson reels (10 out of the 14 reels I own). I also have two Lamson fly rods! The Guru and a Radius. Love them both!
Nice reel cover at a very affordable price. It does the job protecting the reel whether or not it’s on a rod.
I just spent 7 days fishing Yellowfin Tuna at the Darien Lodge in April. I bought my Centerfire in October 2025. Used it at the Darien Lodge in October. On the second yellowfin the reel housing spun off and I could not snap it back in. I sent it to Lamson for repair.
The repair was timely and I used it a week ago to and it preformed. I landed 7 yellowfin 70-80 lbs. The Centerfire drag did the job for the most part. I have 400 yards of gel spun backing and I needed every yard as these tuna would set off on a blistering 300+ yard run and then turn around an come back. I paired the Centerfire with a Sage 12 wgt RPLX III rod. I landed every yellowtail I hooked. The reel was the key.
My recommendation to Lamson is to make it easier to take off the housing for cleaning. The current system require a wrench to break the lock tension. The tool provide does not provide enough leverage.
Perfect fit for my Lamson Liquid reel.
I purchased the liquid combo. Wish that was included in the combo, but, it made sense to protect the reel when not in the case.
