Lamson ARX II Full Frame Fly Fishing Reel
The Lamson ARX II Full Frame Fly Fishing Reel is the anchor of the brand’s two-handed specialty reel line up. Burly, overbuilt and ready for action, the Arx II carries on the legacy of its predecessor. Thin running lines have no chance escaping this full caged reel, and when you finally get that tug from the silver torpedo the extra-large conical drag is ready. Increased line capacity and a little extra heft are the perfect complement to those long rods and large diameter shooting heads.

The Lamson ARX II performs well in heavy fishing conditions. The full frame design provides excellent stability, and the sealed conical drag handles strong tugs without failure. I’ve used it with a long rod and it holds up well under pressure. The retrieve direction switch is handy for different casting styles.

Solid build quality with a durable aluminum frame. The anodized spool resists corrosion even in saltwater environments. I appreciate the large arbor and the ability to adjust retrieve direction. A bit heavy for casual use, but perfect for serious fly fishing.
