How to choose a reel and line

Our reel and line guide covers matching a reel and line to your rod, drag and backing. For a line matched to your exact rod, try our fly line picker.

The Saltwater version of the Lamson Litespeed fly reel features a hybrid drag system.  The drag shares some elements of the Cobalt drag – fixed spindle, large heat-wicking conical surfaces, click stop drag knob. The Litespeed Marine Reels incorporate close tolerance composite bearings and come equipped with the same linear spring set found on the Litespeed Freshwater, optimized for each reel size. Like our Cobalt reel, it holds an IPX8 waterproof rating of 100 ft. LSM frame and spool share the same open structure as LSF, with an emphasis on greater stiffness and stability.
