Product information "Lamson Liquid Max Fly Reel cadet"
The second generation of Lamson's Liquid fly reels not only brings an aesthetic update but also an expansion in the reel family: The Lamson Liquid MAX is joining the ranks! It may look like a Liquid from the outside, but it houses the Cobalt inside - the best of both worlds. Now, the proven Cobalt Drag System is available in the more affordable chassis of a Liquid fly reel. The size lineup of the different reel models has been adjusted and optimized for their respective applications. Compared to the first Liquid generation, the strength-to-weight ratio of the robust aluminum has been greatly improved through a completely redesigned spool and frame. The new spool shape has also been completely redesigned to allow for cleaner line retrieval. Additionally, the drag knob has been slightly enlarged and optimized for grip. The Liquid MAX carries the name and attire of a 'Liquid' but technically has much, much more to offer.
The formidable COBALT Drag System
The Liquid Max features the advanced Cobalt Drag System: a fully U.S.-made, all-stopping drag system with a proprietary Teflon alloy drag cone, Carbon-PEEK thrust washers, custom self-lubricating seals, and a certified waterproof IPX8 rating. The heat-resistant drag system runs on ABEC 5 ceramic ball bearings and is completely sealed waterproof (up to 30 meters deep). This virtually eliminates the penetration of dirt, grease, or salt, and any associated brake failure. Whether it's fast-swimming saltwater predators in the tropics or fresh salmon in Scandinavia, the Choice is Yours, and the braking system is your insurance!
This absolute high-end brake has been housed in a pressure-cast and then CNC-machined frame & spool to make the reel more affordable to produce and price fairly. Other features include the Ultra Large Arbor design, an integrated reel foot, the revised spool design that maximizes strength-to-weight ratio, and a larger, easy-to-grip drag knob that sits securely in your hand in the heat of battle.
The Lamson Liquid MAX offers "Made in the USA quality" at a very pleasing price - a highly reliable quality fly reel with an incredibly strong brake. A wolf in sheep's clothing.
