Great Reel

I own 2 and they are great reels

Very Fast Delivery

Reel showed up very quick and is exactly as advertised . Really wish I could get the Cinder color too

Great reel

My favorite reel. I have two. Beautiful and functional. Can use for euro nymphing without the line getting caught between the spool and the cage.

Great lightweight reel

I picked this reel up to replace an older velocity that fell out of the back of my truck. I've paired the reel w/ a 9wt rod and use it for inshore, bay, and beach duty. I've only had the reel a few weeks but used it extensively on a trip to Florida. The drag was great as expected and the line pick up and lay is far better than my old velocity.

Incredible reel

I bought this reel in 2/22 and can’t say enough good things about it. I’ve always used Lamson reels, and this one is no exception. Responsive, heavy drag when needed, and smooth during all activity levels. I haven’t taken this one to the salt, but it has a fully sealed drag system so I wouldn’t hesitate if that’s a concern.

Can’t recommend enough, if you’re on the fence just go for it and you will not regret it.

Fish saver. Our breakout product in the fly fishing industry, years ago, we thought: “There’s got to be a better way to remove a delicately-tied fly from a hooked fish than the hoisting, clamping, and wrenching process now on display.” So we created a simply innovative tool capable of reducing fish mortality by eliminating netting and handling—then named it after our home-base of Ketchum, Idaho. This technique will preserve protective coatings and eliminate air exposure. The Ketchum Release® tool makes low-mortality release easy, plus allows you to retrieve your fly without damage. It even keeps your hands high and dry. The Ketchum Release® is available in three sizes: Big Bug for hook sizes 6-10; Standard for sizes 12-16; and Midge for sizes 18-22.
