Do your job. Designed as a bullet proof workhorse for your stable of reels, with everything you need and nothing you don’t—turn off your smart phone, check your knots and get to work.
Designing Centerfire, we drew from the strongest and most reliable elements from over a quarter century of fly reel production. The frame incorporates our proprietary—IPX8 waterproof rated—Cobalt drag system, burly Power Arm construction and load path reinforcement. The spool maximizes capacity and line retrieval with plenty of porting to dry out after a big day. Add a large fluted drag knob, oversized handle and hard anodize and you can be sure this reel will only clock out when you do.
Since there is no reviews on this reel on here I felt obligated to write one. I got this Centerfire HD 8 home today, fit and finish is at good as it gets, the drag is amazing and smooth, it balance both two of my micro spey rods (10’7 & 11’6) perfectly. I was able to put 250 yards of 50lb SA XTS on it and a 390 grain SA spey lite scandi line on top of that, no problem! My nr 1 top reel that I have at home is my Einarsson Invictus 8/10 and no reel on the market had been able to match that one so far for years. But today when I got this reel in my hand, played around with it a little and tried it out, I can tell you this much, it does match the quality of my Einarsson Invictus reel!!! Lamson should be very proud of themself with the making of this reel, it is a masterpiece!!! Ty Lamson it was worth the 800 euro (with taxes) I had to pay for it here in sweden, Iam very happy with my purchase!!!!!!! /Fredde
We are super excited with the Centerfire and thanks for taking the time to let us know what you thought about it. It will serve you well for many years (and fish)!
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.
