Sage Igniter Fly Rod Series
The most demanding conditions require a different kind of tool. Strong head wind? Fish at distance? Bulky rigs? Heavy sink-tips? The INGITER is tuned to handle the most technical of conditions. Not a rod for the everyday angler, the IGNITER is equipped with a high line speed taper to carry large amounts of line at distance with wind cutting performance. Perfect for streamer fishing with heavy sink tips or covering big water when conditions turn south. If you bring the will, the IGNITER will supply the way. Gunmetal anodized aluminum uplocking reel seat.

Very Smooth reel. Lightweight yet sturdy. Can handle any freshwater applications, and the vast majority of saltwater (11 weight rods and under). Korean made.
Lamson Litespeed F
- CNC machined with material distributed artfully along critical load paths
- stable and strong, extremely light

- spool and frame architecture is super-arbor in scale for high retrieve, but spare and open to promote line drying and, of course, reduce weight
- Ultra Large Arbor Format
- Lightest yet largest diameter Litespeed to date
- Space frame construction - Exceptional Strength-to-Weight Ratio
- Re-engineered seals - Enhanced reliability and waterproofing
- Indexing click drag knob
Angler's Lane Commentary:
Lamson ranks as a consistent innovator of fly reels. The Litespeed F (Freshwater) represents the finest in fly reel arcitecture and function. With a light, yet durable frame the drag is always consistent. Our guides have been using Litespeeds since 2000 and each generation represents an improvement, this 2021 version is second to none among our favorites!
