Lamson Velocity Reel - V3

Light weight and very smooth. A bargain - especially with all the additional discounts. I own several.

I use this product for both Salt water Redfish and Steelies in Steelhead alley (September and November trip planned). The reel worked great on the Reds down here in the Carolinas. This drag is so awesome I am gonna get a Lamson to use on Albies. The reel costs me significantly less than others I own and I now see the raves were spot on.

A superb reel and a great value. Smooth operation and maybe the lightest weight-per-size on the market. The press-in, press-out way of changing the reel spool takes some getting used to because it's so different from other fly reels. Both hands and thumbs are needed to do it. It would frustrate someone with below-average hand and thumb strength.

I now own three of these. I used to be a Ross man, but discovered Lamsons and cannot say enough about the quality. Even at retail these things are way underpriced for the quality. I usually fish this reel on my 6 wt for smallies and on my 8 wt for steelhead and king salmon. Never had any problem whatsoever. Bulletproof sealed drag system, sturdy, lightweight and a self healing finish at the price of a spool. Lamson is changing the looks and closing these out. Scoop 'em up!

Perfect for a streamer rod or a light swtich rod

Beautifully made, obvious quality. Lamson has always made quality products.
