Purpose-built for technical fly fishing, the Lamson Purist Fly Rod serves up long leaders and small flies with accuracy and finesse to fool the most highly educated fish. From the 2-piece construction to the light and spare hardware specification, everything about Purist focuses on reducing upper-section weight to enhance energy delivery, recovery, feedback, and feel. Progressive blank balances power throughout the action. A supple, easy-loading tip flows into a mid-section that maintains tracking and stability. The solid butt section stores and releases energy with perfect control. Lamson extends their penchant for innovation to fly rods with the creation of the Lockdown reel seat. The stable design seats the straight edges of the reel foot on rails machined into the sear, minimizing required ring pressure. This ensures the fly reel stays locked in tight and won't work loose while you're casting.
