By Brett from San Francisco. CA on 07/05/2009 Cons: Hard to get spool off, Leader gets behind spool, Sound of drag loud Describe Yourself: Avid Fisher Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend Comments: This reel is good for the price, but if I did it all over again, I might go a little higher end. It's nearly impossible to get the spool off, even when you know the trick for doing it. it's nothing like other reels. I'm using it on a 4wt, so not a real issue for me, but would be if I was using this model for a 6wt. The construction is good, as is the weight. It's ideal for small weight rods where there is less focus on the reel or drag. The drag works great, but a little noisy compared to other models.
By Bart from New Jersey on 05/27/2009 Pros: Durable, Reliable, Smooth Drag System, Smooth Reeling Best Uses: Fly Fishing, River Fishing Describe Yourself: Avid Fisher Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Lamson makes some of the best reels in the business. This reel is light weight and has a great drag system (very smooth with little to no initial start-up resistance)

By schnitzerphoto from Lander, WY on 05/01/2009 Pros: Reliable, Smooth Drag System, Smooth Reeling Describe Yourself: Professional Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Hard to beat this Waterworks reel for the money. Well worth it.
By fishslime from Little Rock,AR on 04/27/2009 Pros: Durable, Reliable, Smooth Drag System, Smooth Reeling Describe Yourself: Avid Fisher Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: This is a well matched reel for a 4 wt rod. The large arbor would only allow about 80 ft of backing with a 90 ft wt forward line. Smooth drag-Lamson probably makes the best internal drag in the business. You won't find it at a better price.
Grea value for this amazing reel!

Glad I went with the Velocity - better reel and hard alox finish for 1/2 the price here.
