The New Lamson Speedster S Fly Reels have been completely re-designed for 2020, boasting the largest diameter and highest retrieve rate of any reel on the market.The Speedster S -5+ Fly Reel is machined using enhanced spool machining technology, resulting in a reel weighing 20% less, while maintaining the highest level of performance. Simply put there is not another reel that can match the weight vs. retrieval rate of the Speedster S -5+, making it the perfect choice for hard charging species like trout, bass, steelhead, bonefish, redfish, and more. The new stylish Speedster S is a masterpiece of engineering and beauty, while being as rugged as they come. The Speedster S boasts the same bulletproof, patented sealed conical drag system as all high end Lamson reels.
Lamson updated the spool geometry to allow for enhanced retrieve rates, opened porting for reduced weight and improved line drying, and integrated the counterbalance. A curved cross-section increases structural stability, while a hard anodized Type II finish provides a hard finish to protect your investment. You will not find a more beautiful, well-engineered, tough as nails fly reel that eats up line like the Speedster S!

Absolutely love this reel. It's light, looks great, nice drag, and good sounds. Machined with tight tolerances for smooth operation. I own 2 and will but more. I just wish there were a few more color options.

I love Lamson reels. They are well crafted and very lightweight. Whatever your price point you cannot go wrong. These Speedster S reels are super smooth and look great. Drag is more than you will need and the click sound is nice. They are tough and have great warranties.

After purchasing three Guru S reels and a couple extra spools, I decided to upgrade and get the Speedster S for my 5wt. I'm still happy with my Guru's but I love the machine work on the Speedster S. I was able to get a few nice size trout on reel and the drag performed flawlessly, like all the Lamson reels I own. Will the Speedster help me catch more fish, no, but it sure looks nice on my Sage Sonic.

purchased this for a TFO rod I had lying around. Love the balance of the reel with the rod. so far has taken a beating in mountain streams for trout and on local ponds/rivers for large mouth. no complaints -- great reel.

I purchased this to use with a TFO Lefty Krey 6 wt rod, thinking I would use it for larger trout. I have used it for saltwater, freshwater ponds (bass and crappie), small rivers (Haw River in NC for smallmouth) and trout streams. I have beat the crap out of both the rod and reel and they have both come out on the other side without showing a lot of wear and tear. For the price, highly recommended.
