A reel hot rod. A super-high retrieve rate reel, the Speedster S features a narrower spool, inboard mounted handle, and an outer diameter significantly larger than our highest performing reels. The narrow spool prevents line barreling, while the inboard handle and added circumference improve retrieve rate. Rev these features up with our classic Waterworks-Lamson styling and attention to detail—plus our time-tested, maintenance-free drag system—and you have what the name implies: a hot rod of a reel.

The dimensions of structure and function inspire beauty. An enhanced spool machining technique—focusing material only where it’s needed—is the reason why this version is significantly lighter and higher performing than its predecessor.

Available in Midnight and Ember.

** Speedster S Spools also fit Speedster S HD Reels **

Beautiful reel

I fish the Driftless Area in Minnesota and Wisconsin. I purchased the 3+ to go with my 4wt T&T Paradigm 844. I loved everything about this reel but one thing - the drag at the lowest setting was way too strong. I had to send the reel back to Lamson for $35 to readjust the drag so that the lowest drag would be basically free spool. For a 3 weight reel, I felt the drag was too much. I don't think this is an unreasonable critique for a trout reel. I wasn't thrilled about the extra cost, and hindsight being 20/20 I would have gone with a competitor reel.

Really sorry that it wasn't perfect out of the box. We reached out to refund you for the repair fee, if we can help with anything else let us know.

Speedster....fine workmanship!

The Speedster is light by design yet strong in use. This is one of the most impressive reels available on the market.

Thank you! Tough to beat the Speedster S.

A great reel

My first purchase was the Litespeed. Light, soft brake and perfect combination with the Winston lllX 9 4wt, both manage to take the finest tipets to their limit when we are in full fight. Now I hope to receive the Speedmaster soon, it will be well received. Thank you for the work you do do these guys do with these reels.

You are welcome, thanks to you for fishing our reels!

Perfect for my Eurorods

I put Speedster S reels on my euro-rods. They are light, plenty of smooth drag, balance the rods just right, and look great to boot. They are perfect.

Balance is key! Thanks for letting us know.

Customer service

The thing I love most about this company is their costumer service. I wrote a review of this reel last night and they called me first thing this morning. We're working on a solution and I'm confident they'll make sure this doesn't hairbrush to me again.

Thanks guys

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.
