Lamson Litespeed F Fly Reels

$899.95

The latest and greatest freshwater reel by Lamson. These reels truly raise the benchmark in what can be achieved in fly reel design. If you crave the absolute best, the new Litespeed IS IT. Available in two colours. Whisky (copper) and Fuego (gunmetal).

Description

Light-year. The distance traveled by light in a single year; the time it takes for design to evolve to a next step.
What can be said about larger but lighter, lighter but stronger? Of course it can be done. We’ve done it over and over again, but does there come a time when the bar can’t be raised?
No, there are always improvements to be made, new ways of thinking, new materials, and processes to exploit. As we’ve said – the performance benchmark for a fly reel is retrieve rate per ounce. If you haven’t thought about it before, think about it now: there’s no downside to high retrieve rate other than extra weight.
As an example, consider the 2021 Gen 6 Litespeed: CNC machined with material distributed artfully along critical load paths, stable and strong, so light you might forget it’s there, but beautiful enough to make you remember it is.
The art of the fly reel derives from the science of the fly reel, but at the end of the day both art and science, when held in balance, serve to make us smile.

LSF – The LSF is the freshwater version of the new Litespeed. The chassis is based on the conical system found in our other reels with the addition of a click stop drag knob and a unique spring set that creates a linear progression of torque with very fine resolution at the light end of its range. LSF spool and frame architecture is super-arbor in scale for high retrieve, but spare and open to promote line drying and, of course, reduce weight.

Available in Whiskey and Fuego.

  • Lightest yet largest diameter Litespeed to date

combined with the Ørvis 3D 6 wt, this is an amazing combination. the first thing you notice is how light the entire combination is. then how well it combines together. a match truly made in trout heaven.
