For versatility and value, we like the Lamson Liquid S-Series Fly Reel 3-Pack, which gives us a reel with three spools for the price of one reel and spool. That lets us carry both floating and sinking lines or multiple weights to mix and match to different kinds of water and changing presentations. The new S-Series has updated the first generation Liquid with a larger arbor, more strength with less weight, cleaner spooling, and a larger drag knob.
