Great performance from this reel! Drag works great and is easy to set. Helped me land a large rainbow on the Blue river in (CO). Along with my new Lamson 6wt rod. Together the rod and reel are a perfect combination!

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

I’ve bought many remixes and liquids over the years and they are all still functional with smooth drags even after heavy use. Not a better bang for your buck on the market.

Great reel to use for my Euro rod.

The perfect mix of style and functionality. Whenever I put this in the hands of a client, it gives me peace of mind that the reel won’t fail and the drag will kick in when they need it most. Having extra spools makes it very easy to swap lines.
