This reel has become my standard reel that I use with all my clients. Great quality/price. I also like the retrieve speed. I recommend this reel for anyone looking for a great saltwater reel at a fair price. www.matagordaloops.com

Hard to beat for a low cost, sealed drag saltwater reel. Felt a bit heavy right out of the box but balances nicely on my Helios 4. Yet to be put to the test but will run it through its paces next week in Belize.

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!

This is a super nice reel. Amazing value for the money, and with the Cobalt drag system, should be a long-term player in the quiver. For anyone budget conscious, or looking to pick up a great spare to travel with, this is an amazing piece. Kudos to Lamson for this release, WAY nicer than cast reels from the competition!

Great reel for the money. Bombproof drag with very smooth operation for most saltwater needs.
