Lamson Centerfire Fly Reel

Yes, the Centerfire is fully saltwater approved. It features a hard-anodized finish for corrosion resistance and an IPX8-rated sealed drag system that protects internal components from saltwater intrusion.

The large arbor design increases the diameter of the spool, which allows for much faster line retrieval per turn of the handle. This is particularly helpful when you need to pick up slack quickly or fight a fast-moving fish that is running toward you.

Yes, the reel is designed to be easily convertible for either left- or right-hand retrieve, allowing you to set it up according to your personal preference.

The Cobalt Hybrid Drag is engineered to remain smooth and consistent even when you are putting significant pressure on a large fish. Because it is fully sealed, it maintains that performance regardless of whether you are dealing with sand, grit, or water.

The Model 8 weighs 6.7 ounces, which provides a solid, durable feel without being overly cumbersome. It is designed to balance well with the heavier rods typically used for striped bass or predator fishing.
