Lamson Guru S

Standard for enlightened excellence as a rugged
Fully USA-machined, ultra-reliable reel
Larger diameter, narrower spool, decreased weight than its previous Gurus
Added a curved cross-section for structural stability.
6061-T6 proprietary aluminum alloy frame -- strong yet light
Space-age Delrin 500AF polymer Drag Material is durable, heat resistant, self-lubricating and maintenance free
Hard alox finish for balance of hardness and color
Ergonomic drag knob

Angler's Lane Commentary:
Extremely durable reel. Great reel for any freshwater and most any saltwater situations. We love the Guru S reels which are outstanding in freshwater situations. Made in USA.

Orvis Mirage LT

Designed to balance perfectly with lighter freshwater rods
Zero start-up inertia and precise low-end control protects light tippets
Lighter version of the sealed and maintenance-free carbon and stainless steel disc drag
Adjusts from zero to full drag in a single drag knob rotation

Excellent for trout, bass, pike, musky, or carp
Strong, yet lightweight, 6061 T6 aluminum
Type II anodizing

Angler's Lane Commentary:
Orvis has a winner in the Mirage LT reel. Lightweight, smooth yet strong drag system. Excellent match for a premium fly rod combo. Made in USA.

Lamson Litespeed F

CNC machined with material distributed artfully along critical load paths
stable and strong, extremely light
drag system creates a linear progression of torque with very fine resolution at the light end of its range
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!
