from 521 reviewsI've been using the Lamson purist 4wt two piece matched with the Guro-S 4wt reel, and it immediately became my favorite rod and reel outfit. The action, sensitivity, performance on turning over flies and presenting them with surgical accuracy has taken my fly fishing skills to the next level. As professional fly fishing guide, my success depends on reliable equipment, and Lamson has it in spades. Thank you again for turning me onto Lamsons unmatched rods and reels.

I guide for Redfish and Striped Bass in the Chesapeake Bay. The day I tested this rod, I purchased 3 and removed rods twice the price off my boat. This is the most accurate and efficient rod I have ever used. Quick and accurate shots at moving fish and sinking lines is where I see it stand above all others.

Love Lamson stuff, needed a spool for my 8wt and couldn’t have asked for a better product. This is my second set of lamson reels and spools, loved the quick shipping. Biggggg Lamson kinda guy.

Just spent the last 5 days on the flint river TN with this reel. By far the most fun I've had on the water. The sound is very pleasing, I love the looks of it (I got the whiskey) and the fast retrieval is a pleasure to use. It balances my rod well and coupled with rio fly line it makes a powerful cast easy.
I also got several comments on the looks of it which was an added bonus.

This reel is amazing and feels great. Been using competitors and this one smokes them out of the water at this price point. I'm on the creek at least 3x a week and I will be fitting all my other rods with lamson and won't even look back. The drag, size, click is all perfect.

My new favorite reel. Pleasing sound. Light weight. Beautiful construction. Simple but majestic. I own many LAMSON reels for a reason and this is one is pure fun. If you want the best click and pawl lightweight reel on the market this is it! Super large arbor. Narrow (in a good way) with great resistance and perfect aesthetics. I will buy again and again. Easily landed 20 fish up to 20” browns its first outing. Matches well with a very light 5 weight rod. You could easily use the 5+ on a 3-4 weight rod if you wanted more backing. It’s definitely an upgrade from the original which in itself is a modern classic.

Pieced together my own spare spool x3 of the remix...so had to purchase this separately

wonderful reel. My third set of three spools, all different colors and sizes.
The drag is wonderful. I would recommend that the loosest setting be a little looser. It does not let the reel spin freely, and I feel that it takes a little too much to pull off extra line with non-casting hand. I wish that the loosest setting were a little looser.

I have my Guru S -5+ on my R.L. Winston Kairos 5WT. Just two days ago I caught 2 five+ pound German Browns and 1 3+ pound German Brown. I’ve never had drag worked like that by a fish. These hawgs ran up and down the river and this reel performed beautifully!!!

The medium reel case fits my Liquid S 5+ like a glove. It is a snug fit but concerned that the large might be too big. Case seems to be well made and of sturdy materials.

could you keep the same frame but make a deeper spool so you could have a 8/9 and a 9/10 this would be perfect for the flats
