This is a great reel. Using an Airflow Skagit 630 w/ running line & regular 20 lb backing on an 8wt spey rod. Perfect pairing for this reel. Would seriously suggest this at the closeout prices.

Best Uses:
Ocean Fishing
Describe Yourself:

Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

This is the 4th Lamson reel that I have purchased. The V4 is great for salt water fish including bone fish that will run a couple hundred yards of line from your reel.

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.
