Lamson Litespeed Alox Series Fly Reel - Stainless

Lamson Litespeed Alox Series Fly Reel - Stainless An icon among ultralarge-arbor fly reels, Lamsons Litespeed now has been refined for even higher retrieve rate, improved ergonomics, easier line management and less mass. Narrower drag geometry translates into a flatter spool surface for less knuckle dragging. Structural refinements such as the curved arbor make this light reel even lighter. The curved arbor stores backing into a diameter well and keeps working line at a maximum radius to optimize the advantages of a large arbor. Improved spool/stripping arm geometry helps prevent snags and line damage. Maintenance-free conical drag utilizes two cone-shaped elements matched together for a precise fit. This system completely seals the drag from the effects of moisture, salt and grit. Because the mass of the drag elements is centralized, the reel is more responsive to lighter drag settings. The average radius of the contact surface is also much smaller than a disc-shaped drag, eliminating startup torque. The zero-lash feature delivers instant line engagement. Stainless steel clutch is impervious to corrosion. A 3X torque rating safety factor ensures an unlimited service life. Hard Alox finish resists scratches and the effects of saltwater. Color: Stainless.
