Choose a Waterworks Lamson Fly Reel
Explore Waterworks Lamson fly reels for trout, Euro nymphing, Spey and saltwater fishing. The selection includes Liquid S, Remix S, Guru, Litespeed, Speedster and Purist II models, with different construction methods, frame designs and drag systems. Choose around your line capacity, fishing method and preferred handling rather than the series name alone.
Liquid S and Remix S: Two Approaches to Construction
The Lamson Liquid S uses a pressure-cast aluminium frame and spool, with a large-arbor design and sealed conical drag. It provides an accessible option within the Lamson range.
The Lamson Remix S combines a CNC-machined aluminium frame with a pressure-cast spool. Compare it with Liquid S if you want a machined frame while retaining the same spool system.
Both ranges include 3-Pack options containing one reel and two additional spools. These packages are useful when you want separate floating, intermediate and sinking lines ready to change over.
Guru: Machined Reels and Specialist Variants
The Lamson Guru selection includes fully machined Guru S models and the Guru E, which is designed specifically for Euro nymphing. Check the individual model’s size, physical weight and frame configuration when comparing options.
Guru HD models use a complete cage design and provide alternatives for Spey and saltwater setups. Select the size around your full line system and backing requirements.
Litespeed and Speedster: Match the Version to Your Fishing
The Lamson Litespeed selection includes freshwater F-Series and dedicated Marine versions. Treat them as distinct choices, checking the drag design, capacity and intended environment for each model.
The Lamson Speedster range also includes standard and HD versions. Compare arbor dimensions, frame design and reel weight alongside the recommended line range to find the configuration that suits your setup.
Purist II: A Click-and-Pawl Alternative
The Lamson Purist II combines a click-and-pawl mechanism with a super-large arbor and narrow profile. It offers a different approach from the sealed-drag models for anglers who prefer a simpler reel and direct involvement in controlling a running fish.
Choose it for the handling and fishing experience you want, rather than assuming every Lamson reel uses the same drag system.
Dedicated Saltwater Options
The selection includes Litespeed Marine, Liquid Max and Centerfire options. Compare each model’s intended use, drag and backing capacity with the species and conditions you expect.
Follow the manufacturer’s care instructions after saltwater fishing. A sealed drag does not remove the need to clean and maintain the reel.
Understanding Lamson Sizes and Spool Compatibility
Lamson sizes such as 3+, 5+, 7+ and 9+ cover recommended line ranges rather than one identical fly-line weight. Use the capacity table for the exact reel and account for your fly line, backing and any shooting-head system.
Same-size Liquid S and Remix S spools are interchangeable, but they do not fit the previous-generation Liquid and Remix reels. Check the model, generation and size before ordering a reel package or additional spool.
