The Lamson Liquid, an affordable high-performance freshwater reel, combines a pressure cast design with unique design elements to create a package that rivals any reel under $100. The Liquid has the same strong conical drag system found in higher-priced Lamson reels and is partially manufactured in the US. This reel is a great reel for entry-level anglers and experts alike and features performance way out of its price range.

Design
Liquid Courage – The Liquid sports features unique to cast reel construction that truly afford anglers multiple advantages on the water. The Liquid has full-radiused compound curves, near-zero radius inside corners, and a precise fit and finish. The design of the Liquid is intelligently engineered so the angler gets the most out of his/her money.

Finish
Polyurethane Case and Spool – The Liquid is finished with Polyurethane that protects the reel’s cast design. Polyurethane is an affordable alternative to anodizing and protects the Liquid during travel, transport, and time on the water.

Materials
Pressure Cast Aluminum Frame and Spool – One of the things that keeps the Liquid lightweight and affordable is its cast design. Reel frame and spool are made with an aluminum pressure cast design. While many affordable cast reels are made overseas, Lamson made parts of this reel in the US and still kept it under $100.

Drag
Type – The Liquid, like many other Lamson reels, comes with a sealed Conical Drag System. A Conical Drag is lightweight and extremely strong. Lamson is known for this system and they’ve perfected it over many years of research, development, and design.

Materials – The Conical Drag of the Liquid is made with a proprietary Teflon/Delrin Alloy that’s blitzing strong and seriously lightweight. Lamson has perfected the balance of weight vs. strength in this reel and this proprietary Alloy is a major reason why.

Arbor Size
Large Arbor – The large arbor of the Guru S increases line pickup and helps anglers fight the largest fish in both saltwater and freshwater scenarios. Most contemporary fly reels are made with a large arbor design to allow anglers to pick up as much line as possible with as little work as possible.

Warranty
Waterworks-Lamson Lifetime Warranty – Lamson’s Lifetime Warranty is valid for any defect in material or workmanship for the original owner of the fly reel. As of October 2019, Lamson charges a $30 reel warranty shipping and handling fee.
