Perfection at fraction of the Cost By Flashfly from Cary, NC on 08/23/2009 Pros: Durable, Smooth Drag System, Smooth Reeling Describe Yourself: Avid Fisher Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Actually got turned on to Lamson while in Alaska and used a Velocity for Copper River Bows. Since then have graduated to using them for Kings and Silvers, and Stellies on Spey rods with Skagits on the Great lakes. Never had a problem flawless drag. Just bought a 1.5 for some trout fishing and 4 for some mid size Tarpon.

By Russ from Pittsburgh on 05/12/2009 Pros: Smooth Drag System, Smooth Reeling Describe Yourself: Avid Fisher Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Lamson's Velocity V4 is a poor man's version of a big-fish busting reel. I chose it mainly for price over the Big O Company and similar reels. Like all large arbors it inhales line, and it has a strong pickup, although it does slip slowly with 10# on(show me a reel that doesn't costing less than [$]). I prefer it over the earlier Lamson Radius because it has a clearly defined drag knob - 2 full turns. You would have to mark the knob yourself or look at the graphics though - nbd. It has a slight wobble gap in tolerance between reel and housing, not enough to matter in my opinion. Should be a good fish-fighting reel for sea species 20# plus. OK, but may be overkill for bones. Stores 250 yds of 30 lb backing plus line.
By Ty from New York on 03/10/2009 Pros: Durable, Reliable, Smooth Drag System, Smooth Reeling Describe Yourself: Professional Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Had this reel on a test run on a mid winter steelhead trip last week and it performed flawlessly. Not only did the drag fight fish hard and smooth it survived a dunking in the 33 degree water without harming any moving parts, more than i can say for my ross
