LAMSON

My old DCA-4 was a workhorse reel. Originally purchased in the mid90s to meet a need for a planned salmon trip to the Miramichi, it had served me well - stripers, bluefish, shad, muskies, etc. A workhorse indeed...until the clutch failed and no replacement part was available. Rather than spend money to a 3rd party to rebuild the clutch I took advantage of Lamson's trade-in policy and upgraded to a REMIX. Sean and Customer Service were extremely helpful in facilitating the exchange/purchase.

As to the reel itself, it's ready to go, both spools loaded. First test will be muskies.
It's much lighter and more attractive than a DCA.... an upgrade. I'm sure its reliability will match my experience with my 1.5 Litespeed Hard Alox

The +-9 three pack is my third of this series. The thing I like best about the Liquid series is the drag. It’s not Lamson’s best but it definitely performs better than I expected on big fish and the price for the 3 pack allows you to rig the other two spools with quality fly line. On a personal note, I would like like the spools in this series to be more narrow and have a larger diameter. Similar to the Hyperspeed. The Liquids do take more backing to get the fly line out on the reel which may add more weight at the reel seat. I do use in salt/brackish water but clean after after use.

These are good rods at a mid price and they are fast action. I have 7 and 8 wt. Sage and Loomis rods and this hangs in fine as the 9 wt I was missing. Thanks for putting the little mating dots on the rod sections that my Sage didn't bother to do. Though it's a fast action I can still feel the rod load matched to a 9 wt line and it shoots a good cast. I imagine the 8 wt cobalt would also be a great bonefish rod.

Fast delivery, professionally packed and exactly as advertized!

This is a Great Small Reel Case!!! I put 2 5wt reels &
1 3wt reel with a extra 3wt spool.
All fit perfectly!!!
A few small mesh pockets for extra tippets or leaders!!
I highly Recommend!!!!

These are very well put together with solid stitching that I am not worried about failing.

After jumping down the rabbit hole of Euro nymphing, I'm pretty sure I owned or fished every 3-weight on the market...but I kept wanting to drop down for more sensitivity, especially when using lighter flies, dry-dropper rigs, and micro thin leaders. Enter the 10'10" 2-weight E-Series, my "daily driver" all trout season in Pennsylvania. This rod has the reach, excellent responsiveness and recovery, a finish that doesn't grab my thin leader/tippet, and can handle larger trout. My search is over, ha! After fishing the 2-weight all spring, it's coming with me to Montana and Iceland this summer, and I can't wait to see how it performs. The Velocity series was my introduction into Lamson fly rods (crazy value at its price point), and now the E-Series is delivering at that high level, too!

I paired the 8wt with a Lamson Guru and a bass taper with an intermediate sink tip. The rod drives heavily weighted bugs like a rocket. I was both pleased and shocked at how easily I reached out while on still water. Next: carp!

The xtra large size reel case is the perfect size to protect my Guru Reel attached to my spey rod. While settled in a Sumo Rod Top car carrier riding from pool to pool.

As usual, Lamson has produced another quality reel. It’s a great reel for Euro nymphing and it balances perfectly with my 10’6” Soldarini rod. So far the drag system is flawless and it has been put to the test.

Love the 8wt I bought 6 years ago for redfish in Sc . So when it was time for a new trout reel in NY I had to have a 5wt. Was not a mistake.

I had bought a Guru E reel to go with my new Diamondback 10'7" 3 wt Euro Nymphing rod- I more or less went down the Euro Nymphing Rabbit hole. The reel is everything they say it is, and since Diamondback says you can fish a floating line with it, I bought the extra spool and put a WF-3F SA fly line on it. I like to fish dry flies, and the rod is really good for that, too. And with the Sulpher hatch coming in a couple of weeks and on Memorial Day, I will be on the Beaverkill in NY, you can bet I am going to not only catch fish on nymphs but also on dry flies. I don't carry two rods when I fish like many do; that's the reason I bought the extra spool. I've been fishing with Lamson Reels for some time now, and having fished with a lot of reels, Lamson makes a very, very good product. If asked, I would say just buy it, you will like it.

I own many fly fishing products and love this Lamson Reel. It’s got great line pickup and stands up to harsh conditions - it’s my beach fishing go too. Definitely a fabulous product.

I purchased the Liquid Max based upon a recommendation to pair with buy new rod. I was surprised at how easily it allows me to swap out spools for switching between surface and subsurface fishing. My first outing and me into fish quickly so I was able to make use of the drag same day. I am very pleased with the purchase!

Works perfectly. I fish it on a private lake for bass. I cast a 425 grain 29 foot floating head and 10 foot floating tip, leader and tippet. I have the drag set to keep from over-running the reel and leave it there for fighting fish as well. I cast about 80 feet
