For the design of the Centerfire Fly Reel, Lamson leaned on more than a quarter-century of fly-reel production to build the workhorse model avid fly-fishers deserve. Only the strongest, most-reliable elements were used in the reel's premium construction. Proprietary IPX8-waterproof-rated Cobalt hybrid drag system endures the elements while delivering ultrasmooth performance you can rely on during every hookup. Top-quality drag components include large-format drag cone, carbon PEEK thrust washers, and custom self-lubricating O-ring seals. Signature Power Arm construction with deep cross-section radial spool spikes and load-path reinforcement minimize weight while maximizing strength. Large-arbor spool increases capacity and line retrieval efficiency. Generous porting speeds drying. Other highlights of the Lamson Centerfire fly reel include a hard-anodized finish, zero-lash stainless steel roller clutch, easy-grip drag knob, oversized handle, locking spool nut, and integrated counterbalance.
