Lamson Speedster S-Series HD Fly Reel midnight
As the name implies, the Lamson Speedster S HD Fly Reel enables high-speed line retrieving due to its unique super arbor design. Additionally, the newest generation of the popular Speedster family has a truly innovative construction with a completely new full frame design!
Compared to the previous model, this state-of-the-art fly reel has a slightly narrower and true super arbor design allowing high-speed line retrieving at a minimum weight. Also, the inboard handle is moved slightly towards the centre of the reel, which increases the retrieve rate even further. This 100% reliable and innovative lightweight construction creates outstanding stability. Therefore, this durable workhorse is much lighter than the previous model while offering an impressive overall performance. Additionally, its fairly open super arbor design improves line drying and minimizes line memory, which increases the lifetime of your fly line. Further, the approved Sealed Conical Drag System is known for a smooth performance, even while fighting the fish of a lifetime. This completely sealed and extremely reliable drag system has a very low starting resistance, and therefore it is used in almost every Waterworks-Lamson premium fly reel – a real quality feature. Last but not least, the Speedster S HD has a completely closed reel cage that allows using thin running lines – a great feature that will please the salmon and sea trout fishermen among us.
Of course, the newest generation of the Speedster family is of the highest quality since it is fully machined in the USA and made of premium 6061 aluminium. Without a doubt, this superb reel is a great choice for all kinds of coastal fishing, hunting freshwater predators and fishing for salmon with single-handed and switch-rods. The stylish Lamson Speedster S HD Fly Reel: a reliable companion for unforgettable moments along your favourite waters – season after season!

Waterworks is immediately associated by most fly fishermen with the lightweight, reliable reels. Yet the origin of Waterkworks lies in a small, innovative tool. In 1996, Waterworks was founded by two anglers and product designers because they found a better solution to remove the fly from the fish's mouth faster and more gently. Named after their hometown in Idaho, the first Waterworks product, the Ketchum Release Tool, was launched in 1996.
Even before Waterworks was founded, product designers were working with high-quality components. Ryan Harrison honed his skills and knowledge in high-performance cycling, for example. Among other things, Harrison developed suspension technology for Cannondale mountain bikes, so he was already familiar with wheels in the frame.
It was only logical that the founders turned to fly reels after the release tool. Because fly reels were heavy, overly complex and unreliable at the time, so there was work to be done here. With the question in mind of what the perfect fly reel looks like, the ULA was born and represents the foundation of today's high quality fly reels. Together with Lamson, the fly reels, rods and accessories, now enjoy more than two decades of passion, innovation and solid engineering - with no end in sight.
