Lamson Litespeed F Limited Edition fly reel Wild Child
Product information "Lamson Litespeed F Limited Edition fly reel Wild Child"
The reel makers at Lamson asked themselves: "What can you say about bigger but lighter, lighter but stronger?" And they came to the answer: "Of course you can!" Because that is what they have done time and time again when developing new castor models. And even if the bar is always being raised: There are always improvements, new ways of thinking, new materials and processes that can be utilised. An important performance benchmark for a fly reel is the retrieving speed per gram. Because if you think about it, a fast retrieving speed has only one disadvantage for fishing: the additional weight.
The 6th generation of Litespeed fly reels from Lamson now sets new standards in terms of the ratio of retrieving speed to weight. This reel series is CNC-machined, with skilfully distributed material along the critical load paths, stable and strong, so light that you might forget it's even there. But at the same time so beautiful that you remember it. With this fly reel, the WWL reel makers have combined all their craftsmanship with the latest technology and the best materials. A perfect balance that will make you smile while fishing.
Litespeed F - The freshwater versions from the Litespeed series are designed for freshwater fishing and are suitable for trout, grayling, perch, zander and pike in our latitudes. The chassis of the Litespeed F is based on the conical system found in the other WWL 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 the range. This makes the small versions of the Litespeed F ideal for fishing with ultra-fine leaders. The Super Large Arbor architecture of the LSF spool and frame is designed for high retrieve speeds, but is economical and open to promote line drying and of course reduce weight. Just as the reel developers at WWL envisioned. In short: the lightest and largest diameter the Litespeed has ever had. In combination with the revised, fresh design and revised seals, which offer even more reliable water protection, the latest generation of Litespeed F fly reels is a clear buy recommendation from us!

About Lamson:
Waterworks is immediately associated by most fly fishermen with the lightweight, reliable reels. Yet the origin of Waterkworks lies in a small, innovative tool. In 1996, Waterworks was founded by two anglers and product designers because they found a better solution to remove the fly from the fish's mouth faster and more gently. Named after their hometown in Idaho, the first Waterworks product, the Ketchum Release Tool, was launched in 1996.
Even before Waterworks was founded, product designers were working with high-quality components. Ryan Harrison honed his skills and knowledge in high-performance cycling, for example. Among other things, Harrison developed suspension technology for Cannondale mountain bikes, so he was already familiar with wheels in the frame.
It was only logical that the founders turned to fly reels after the release tool. Because fly reels were heavy, overly complex and unreliable at the time, so there was work to be done here. With the question in mind of what the perfect fly reel looks like, the ULA was born and represents the foundation of today's high quality fly reels. Together with Lamson, the fly reels, rods and accessories, now enjoy more than two decades of passion, innovation and solid engineering - with no end in sight.
