Freshwater Reels

Let™s face it, die cast reels are intended to be low cost alternatives to a machined reel, right?  Imported, heavier, easier to damage, plain Jane, etc.

Well . . . not necessarily.

When we started creating Liquid we focused purely on the virtues and advantages a pressure-cast process can offer.  Structurally you can do things with casting that you can™t machine, such as full radiused compound curves, near zero-radius inside corners, and for precise fit and finish you can go back and machine the cast part in critical areas amplifying the best aspects of the process.

We pushed back on other boundaries as well. How much of a reel at this price can we make here in the U.S.?  Quite a lot as it turns out, and it™s a good mix.  These high quality castings are imported, but the components critical to the drag system are CNC-machined here in the U.S.  Liquid reels are assembled in Boise alongside our highest priced reels.

The Ross Reels Evolution series defined the modern trout reel. Now meet the award-winning Evolution LTX: the perfect combination of original Evolution LT feel and Evolution R performance.

The ultra-smooth drag found in the Evolution LT has a long and revered history, but our engineering team took this design to the next level. The drag debuting with the LTX is over four times stronger than its predecessors’, while retaining the sound and feel that helped make the Evolution an icon. This allows it to perform not only as a perfect trout reel, but also has the power to take on saltwater game fish like Redfish, Bonefish, and Snook.

The large arbor spool includes an innovative line channel for cleanly hiding arbor knots when winding on backing.   The Ross Reels signature bell-shaped arbor design also adds strength, while helping to self-level the fly line across the face of the spool as it is retrieved.

The LTX also incorporates a handle machined from canvas phenolic rod (another Ross Reels innovation), which reduces weight, adds durability, and increases grip when wet. These improvements make the LTX a true light saltwater contender, perfectly at home on the flats as it is on the shores of a western river.
These meticulously designed features of the LTX converge in a light weight package, redefining the trout reel for another generation.

FULLY MACHINED COMPONENTS

Machined canvas phenolic handle reduces weight and adds grip

Frame / Spool made from a 6061-T6 proprietary aluminum alloy, specifically engineered for Ross Reels

Oil impregnated bronze bushing rotating on a stainless steel spindle

HIGH-PERFORMANCE DRAG SYSTEM

Based on the engineered stacked-disc system in the Evolution R

Over 4-times the drag strength of the Evolution LT®

FINISH

Anodized for the perfect balance of durability and color

The Lamson Speedster S is a super-high retrieve rate reel. It features a narrower spool, inboard mounted handle and an outer diameter significantly larger than Lamson's highest performing reels.

Rev these features up with classic Waterworks-Lamson styling, ultra-light cage, high performance and a maintenance-free drag system—and you have the new generation Speedster

The S series reels have re-designed spool architecture that maintains this high level of performance while reducing overall weight by 20%. Manufactured in the U.S.A. and assembled in Boise, Idaho.

A fusion between the free-form structures of a cast spool and the mechanical integrity of a CNC-machined case, Remix is a hybrid. The case, CNC-machined in the U.S. from 6061 bar-stock aluminum, delivers maximum structural rigidity and durability all wrapped in a harder, brighter finish. The spool, pressure cast with radiused compound curves, near zero-radius inside corners and a precise fit and finish, delivers both value and sex appeal.
