The Speedster is a super-high retrieve rate reel with a narrower spool, inboard mounted handle and an outer diameter significantly larger than our highest performing reels.
The narrow spool prevents line barreling, the added circumference and inboard handle improve retrieve rate. Mate these features with our time tested smooth as silk, maintenance free drag system, classic Waterworks-Lamson styling and attention to detail, and you have what the name implies: A Hot Rod of a reel.
Format: Super Arbor
Materials: Machined 6061 Aluminum, Stainless Steel

Waterworks-Lamson Liquid Fly Fishing Reel And 2 Spools
$ 9.00
Liquid reel is our newer price-point option. The Liquid offers everything you need in a fly reel at an absolute bang for your buck. The 3-pack is even more of an extreme value; it includes one reel and two spare spools in a nylon carrying case all for the price of one reel and one spool. This product offers beneficial interchangeability at ease for the multi-faceted angler.
Let’s face it, die cast reels are intended to be low cost alternatives to a machined reel, right? Imported, heavier, easier to damage, plain Jane, etc. Well . . . not necessarily. When we started creating Liquid we focused purely on the virtues and advantages a pressure-cast process can offer. Structurally you can do things with casting that you can’t machine, such as full radiused compound curves, near zero-radius inside corners, and for precise fit and finish you can go back and machine the cast part in critical areas amplifying the best aspects of the process. We pushed back on other boundaries as well. How much of a reel at this price can we make here in the U.S.? Quite a lot as it turns out, and it’s a good mix. These high quality castings are imported, but the components critical to the drag system are CNC-machined here in the U.S. Liquid reels are assembled in Boise alongside our highest priced reels. No other $100 reel can boast this much U.S. content and quality oversight. Nudging out a worthy old war horse like Konic wasn’t easy. It took a blank sheet of paper and sharp electrons. Enjoy the best of all worlds, including the best of Idaho, USA.
