The Waterworks-Lamson Centerfire 12 reel is a saltwater monster. An insanely powerful drag and super heavy-duty construction make the Centerfire one of the best Bluewater reels on the market. Add in the innovative adjustable initial drag setting and by strengthening the load baring side of the reel, Lamson had created the ultimate Tarpon and GT reel.
The CNC machined bar stock aluminum Centerfire features a new power arm ported frame with deep cross section radial spool spokes for high rigidity and structural performance. It is a perfect reel when targeting baby tarpon, Redfish and permit by offering plenty of stopping power with Lamson’s conical drag system and the ability to adjust the initial tension setting while still having a full range on the drag knob. The Lamson Centerfire 8 has all the power of larger saltwater reels but is designed to balance with today’s 9 and 10 weight rods to keep you casting all day. All drag components manufactured in the USA and assembled in Boise, Idaho.
The Centerfire Cobalt drag system is certified waterproof to 100 feet by an independent test laboratory. In and out of the water, it stands up to the harshest of elements. Custom formulated self-lubricating O-rings protect every point of ingress. A fixed spindle format ensures complete sealing. A supercharged version Lamson’s conical drag system rotates on high-precision ABEC 5 ceramic ball bearings. The power is in your hands with a “set drag” system of adjustment that allows you to set a preferred stripping pressure against a stop. Access the full range of torque in half-pound click stop increments through a single rotation of the drag knob, with increments etched into the knob for visual reference.
