Waterworks Lamson Speedster HD Midnight Fly Reel

Waterworks Lamson has always believed that form should not just follow function, but be inspired by it, and that good design emanates from a harmonious expression of both. Where fly reels are concerned, the basic parameters – weight, retrieve rate, line storage, drag torque, ergonomics – each must be balanced against the other to build a high-performing reel, and collectively provide the basis for the design. By far the most important of these are weight and retrieve rate, because the ratio of the two define what is considered a large arbour reel.

Expressed simply, think of these two parameters as retrieve rate per ounce, and hence the Holy Grail of fly reel design is an architecture which yields the lightest structure possible for a given diameter, without sacrificing reliability and durability.

Enter the completely re-designed Speedster reels, like the Waterworks Lamson Speedster HD Midnight Fly Reel. They feature an enhanced spool machining technique, focusing material only where it is needed – the reason why both are significantly lighter and higher performing than their predecessors. But importantly, the form, the styling of each Waterworks Lamson Speedster HD Midnight Fly Reel, clearly flows from the same place; allowing the dimensions of structure and function to inspire beauty.
