THREE DECADES OF DESIGN Since 1996
Based in Idaho, Lamson has been pushing the boundaries of fly fishing design for 25+ years. Our roots trace back to the first tool we ever created, the Ketchum Release, named after our hometown. Since the beginning, we have leaned into our core technology and design ethos of simplicity and function-driven styling. This pursuit of inspired design and solid engineering still pushes us today.

Great value – This affordable reel has a strong drag and offers a great blend of value, versatility and performance. Perfect for anglers of any level.
Affordable Durability – Pressure cast aluminum construction on both the frame and spool. After pressure casting the Liquid reels/spools are machined for tight tolerances and smooth finish. Polyurethane coated for added durability and color.
Smooth Strong Drag – Our proprietary sealed conical drag system offers a smooth broad range of drag with plenty of power on the high end. This sealed drag helps keep water out to ensure the drag is protected in any environment
Large Arbor – The spool features a large arbor design to increase backing capacity and quicker line pick up while reeling in. This also helps with line management/line stacking keeping your fly line from tangling
Set up for left hand retrieve and easily switched to right hand retrieve with no tools.
