Great value pack to make the most out of your gear. The spools seat well and don't let even the thinnest line where it shouldn't be. I can't blame the drag, but I did manage to break a rod on a hard set. Damn Logfish! I admit that I was fishing all new gear and intended to put it to the test. The reel and spools pass and Yes, I will be buying another set for another rod.

Excellent reel for cost, durability, and drag system. Hands down the drag system is excellentfor large 25-30 inch trout.

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.

I'm a huge lamson fan! No other company has a quality package as well priced as this one. As a stillwater angler, I have many lines that I rotate out, so the extra spools are a must! If you've never bought a lamson give it a shot. You won't regret it!
