Lamson Arx II Fly Reel
Long stick equipment. The anchor of our two-handed specialty reel line up, Arx II carries on the legacy of its predecessor. Burly, overbuilt and ready for action… if Speedster and Litespeed were receivers and tailbacks, Arx II would be a left tackle. Thin running lines have no chance escaping this full caged beast and when you finally get that tug from the silver torpedo the extra-large conical drag is ready to put the pressure on her. Increased line capacity and–dare we say–a little extra heft are the perfect complement to those long rods and fat lines. Crack open that classy leather fly wallet, pick out the right shooting head and settle into a rhythm. This could take a while… or maybe not.

This reel is incredibly sturdy and holds up well under heavy tugs. I’ve been using it with my 9-foot rod and thick 15-pound test lines, and it performs reliably in both still water and moving currents. The drag system is smooth and responsive, and the build quality feels premium.

Great for long stick fishing. The extra heft helps with line control when fighting large fish. It’s a bit heavier than other reels, but that’s exactly what I wanted for a more stable feel during casting and retrieval.

After switching from a lighter reel, I noticed a significant improvement in handling large fish. The conical drag is strong and doesn’t bind, even under sustained pressure. The Nightfall finish looks elegant and feels solid in hand.
