Limited Edition Lamson Reels

Limited Edition Waterworks-Lamson Speedster HD reels in black and orange. A pretty sexy addition to your next flats fishing trip.

Speedster HD (“Heavy Duty”) follows the lead of our Arx and Guru HD reels by incorporating a full-cage design to capture line without failure. The full-cage design is the solution for thin-diameter running lines that are inclined to escape through spool/line-guard gaps. Speedster HD and Speedster have a taller and more narrow format compared to other reels in our lineup.
Format: Super Arbor
Materials: Machined 6061 Aluminum, Stainless Steel
Finish: Hard Alox
Drag: Sealed Conical Drag System
US Made, Idaho Built

After 35 Years We Would Like To Thank.......

Well, it is now official, we are 35 years old. We would like to take a second and thank some who made it possible for the shop to stick around this long. Some have been partners for a long time, some a short time, but you all are important to us.

Of course our oldest partner would be all of you, our customers. Some of you have been coming to the shop since 1982 and others are more recent, but all of you keep the wheels turning. We cannot say a big enough 
THANK YOU!

And also, kind of behind the scenes, are all of our supplier partners. Over the years we have enjoyed some great relationships with some great people, and had the privilege of offering some great products for our customers. People maybe don't realize it, but the products in our store are all used out on the water by shop staff. Every item (rod, reel, line, wader, boot, etc.) in our store is familiar to us. If a product isn't in here it's likely means it's not good enough. So, that speaks volumes in our minds, and should in yours as well, as to how great the products these companies are. Thanks to all of these great companies...you know who you are out there.

 






Before we sign off, a little extra thanks to 
Orvis Fly Fishing, who have put up with us since the very first day we opened, 35 years ago.

Thanks again everyone!

Mike, Maureen, Kevin, Kelly, Josh, Quinn, Joe, and Blair.

Litespeed Hard Alox Series IV
2014 is Litespeed re-loaded. For years an iconic ultra-large arbor reel, Litespeed has now been refined for even higher retrieve rate, improved ergonomics, easier line management and less mass. Everything that was achieved in Gen 3 has been pushed farther. Narrower drag geometry has translated into a flatter spool surface for less knuckle dragging. A more aggressive drag knob has been made . . . well, more aggressive. Structural refinements such as the curved arbor have made a light reel even lighter, and this curved arbor (which we introduced in 1998) stores backing into a “diameter well” and keeps “working line” at a maximum radius to optimize everything we love about large arbor reels. The spool/stripping arm geometry has been made consistent with reels we developed since the first Litespeed, which does a better job of preventing snags and line damage. Still a close second to a Force SL in trout sizes, the Litespeed is the reliable thoroughbred of the Lamson line.

Tips & Techniques- Maintaining Waterworks Reels

Why we love Waterworks Lamson

A 5 part video on the construction and features of Waterworks reels. These guys are amazingly dialed in on what makes a reel tick (so to speak). Portions of the videos are fairly scientific, but well worth the watch!
