The Lamson Litespeed Hard Aloxâ„¢ fly reel is a large arbor reel with a fully-sealed drag system.
The Litespeed Alox reel is fully machined from barstock aluminum. Using a more traditional structural design, and foregoing the use of titanium, it offers a fine, high performance reel at real good value for money.
Each reel in this series uses the Lamson patented maintenance-free, super smooth, conical drag.
There are 8 reels in this Litespeed Hard Alox series, covering the range of weights from 1 to 11 weight.
"....When I asked the boat captain what his impression was of the reel, he replied simply that he had caught over 150 false albacore with it.
