Lamson Centerfire Fly Reel
Designed as a bullet proof workhorse for your stable of reels, with everything you need and nothing you don’t—turn off your smart phone, check your knots and get to work.
Designing the Centerfire Reel, WW Lamson drew from the strongest and most reliable elements from over a quarter century of fly reel production. The frame incorporates our proprietary—IPX8 waterproof rated—Cobalt drag system, burly Power Arm construction and load path reinforcement. The spool maximizes capacity and line retrieval with plenty of porting to dry out after a big day. Add a large fluted drag knob, oversized handle and hard anodize and you can be sure this reel will only clock out when you do.
Available in Citra and Eclipse.

This reel is built to last. The drag system is smooth and responsive, and the IPX8 rating means I can fish in rain without worry. The handle is comfortable even after hours of use. I’ve used it in both freshwater and light saltwater conditions.

Solid construction and reliable performance. The porting on the spool helps dry out quickly after fishing in wet conditions. A bit heavy for casual use, but perfect for serious anglers.
Lucas Hudson –
The hard anodize finish resists scratches and corrosion. I’ve used it in rainy seasons and it still performs as expected. The oversized handle makes casting easier and the drag is precise.
