Lamson Litespeed series lV 3.5 fly reel

[Dale]

HI Guys, I was given a Lamson litespeed series lV 3.5 fly reel just wondering if its suitable for Exmouth... If anyone have any thoughts please let me know. One week to go!!!

Very good lightweight 7-9 reel. Nearly sealed drag (they say it's fully sealed but the manufacturers are full of sh*t) that can put a decent amount of drag on most things up to about long tail tuna size.
Bit fragile because of the fame composition and light weight construction so don't drop it or fall on it. But the drag + weight + line capacity + nice shiny looks sure make up for it.

I'd plonk 300m of 30lb + a 9wt I/I on it very happily.

When we get up there I'll show you how to take it apart to clean the conical drag which should be done every so often so rust don't get into the central drag/clutch mechanism.

Score.
That will be just fine for up here Dale.
I might jump in on the drag cleaning clinic as well Mat.

Dale. I have six of them in various sizes. They are great reels. I love them. They certainly will stand you in good stead in Exmouth. You won't be disappointed.
